Public bug reported: This is a fairly non-technical bug report, but something I find extremely annoying and other people as well on the internet, but no bug report was reported until now.
My setup is like this, I have a laptop and an external monitor (both same resolution) at work. My day goes like this, at work I connect the monitor, when I go home I unplug it, and in the evening I use my laptop without an external monitor. What happens is that all windows keep jumping from workspace to workspace after these reconfigurations. (I have quite a lot of programs I like to leave open, with a lot of small windows, plots, histograms, ...) and these just get all scattered. I have 4 columns and 3 rows of workspaces.
