I flipped the configuration of my monitors so that the leftmost part of my display configuration is my external monitor and to the right is the laptop screen. Now I see that the windows opened in my laptop screen moving to my external monitor after the first double click on maximized nautilus or typing into the address bar of the maximized chrome-browser. This brings me to the conclusion that the window is forced to the leftmost monitor.

A bug report has already been filed at askubuntu : http://askubuntu.com/questions/279641/nautilus-dual-monitor-issue I have a dual monitor setup (big desktop style where mouse goes from one screen to the other) in Precise 12.04.2 with my laptop on the left and external screen on the right. I have an ATI Radeon HD3635 card using fglrx drivers and I'm always using the Gnome Classic (No effects) environment. What happens: 1. Open Nautilus program on ext screen and maximize it 2. Double click on a random folder 3. The Nautilus window jumps to the laptop screen What should happen: 1. Open Nautilus program on ext screen and maximize it 2. Double click on a random folder 3. The Nautilus window should stay where it is. On the ext screen. When it doesn't happen: 1. Open Nautilus program on ext screen and make sure it's not maximized 2. Double click on random folder 3. The Nautilus window stays on the ext screen I also have a startup script doing this: /usr/bin/xrandr --output CRT1 --right-of LVDS /usr/bin/xrandr --output CRT1 --primary Where CRT1 is the ext screen and LVDS is laptop screen. Any help is appreciated, even more because Precise stays supported until 2017. And it's an annoying bug. ;) --- ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.3 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 GsettingsChanges: org.gnome.nautilus.window-state geometry '1438x813+1440+58' org.gnome.nautilus.window-state sidebar-width 214 org.gnome.nautilus.window-state start-with-status-bar true InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release i386 (20120423) MarkForUpload: True NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: nautilus 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu8 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-48.74-generic-pae 3.2.46 Tags: precise Uname: Linux 3.2.0-48-generic-pae i686 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1195725/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
