Public bug reported: I've found quite a few issues with multi-monitor setups and maximized windows, but none seem quite like this one.
What i see is that windows that were maximized on the smaller screen always move to the larger one after i close and then open the laptop lid and unlock the session. Windows that were not maximized at the time are not affected. This 40 second video demonstrates the behavior: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pU8KCm6Edv8 In it, i have two screens one on top of another, the external monitor is the larger one and is on top of the smaller one, which is a built-in screen. i have two windows on the smaller screen, a gnome-terminal and a help window. i maximize the help window, close and open the lid, unlock the session and return to find the help window maximized but on the larger screen above. gnome-terminal stays where it was but for some reason its menu strip is now obscured by the toolbar (but it only happens to that particular window, if i open another terminal it is not affected). Simply locking the screen does not produce the effect, only closing the lid does. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, fully updated. ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1094176 Title: Multi-monitor - Maximized windows move to the larger monitor after opening/closing the lid To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1094176/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
