I was not able to reproduce the problem using the steps described in comment #5 on unity 5.2. Tried gedit both maximized and windowed, on each monitor, and preferences would appear on the correct monitor every time.
I did not make any compiz settings changes with regard to window placement, it's just the defaults. Anyone still seeing this bug? If so, mind elaborating on the steps to reproduce it? ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874146 Title: Unexpected window placement in multimonitor multi virtual desktop environment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/874146/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
