This is an extremely annoying bug. As others have mentioned you can set apps to open on on a different monitor. I open all apps on my primary monitor. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=6c9b13a5e06988d3413925dd3937ce60&p=11852920&postcount=3
You can also drag windows with Workspace switcher. Simply click to show all workspaces and drag windows to appropriate monitor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754508 Title: Modal dialogs don't appear on the same workspace/monitor as their parent window To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/754508/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
