Public bug reported:
On a dual-monitor setup (Latitude e5410, Intel video card), new window
positions and resize behaviour is erratic and makes interaction very difficult.
Examples:
1. When a window opens on the smaller display (1440x900), it is sized to (I
guess) fit in the other one (1600x1050). This means that every time I have to
find a visible corner (or drag one into view with alt+click), set the cursor on
it (difficult job with a touchpad, the cursor doesn't snap to edges as well as
I'd like) and resize.
2. Window sizes and placement are not remembered on next launch. They fill an
area fit for the size of the larger monitor, or snap to the left edge filling
the height but only about 200px wide. They also open on a seemingly random
monitor.
3. Maximizing a window doesn't always expand it to fill the screen, sometimes
they just fill vertical space but are very narrow and aligned left (same as
above)
4. Unmaximizing a window doesn't return to the initial size/position. They keep
moving to the right and get a bit smaller, e.g a remote desktop window
(Remmina) that fitted exactly before maximize will now extend into the other
monitor and have scrollbars.
I have only one virtual desktop, stretching two monitors, default is the
laptop's (set to the right), external on HDMI.
