Public bug reported:
I have been using a monitor to extend the display on my laptop since
Trusty. It is connected through HDMI cable to my laptop, then I extend
the display instead of mirroring.
Strange things started happening after I switched to Xenial. After my
screen gets locked automatically and I unlock it, I will find my windows
moved around workspace windows.
If I disable workspaces, then I will have windows disappear. I then have
to re-enable workspaces in order to find that they were moved to a
virtual workspace window.
This is exacerbated when I try to access a window by clicking on an
application in the side bar and I am taken to workspace windows that I
am not familiar with. Trying to get back to previous windows then
becomes a search activity.
I want to disable workspaces but I can't since I have to use the
extended display.
