Public bug reported:
(I am not sure if xwayland is at fault or the session or window manager
or the GNOME Terminal app. It happens under Wayland using gnome-session
and gnome-shell.)
When I connect external monitors (via a Thunderbolt 4 dock), sometimes
GNOME Terminal windows that stay on the primary display disappear. Using
the Ubuntu dock, I can see the windows in the thumbnails when I click on
the Terminal app, but when I click on the thumbnail, the terminal in the
lower-right corner highlights as though it is the window that was
clicked; the missing window does not reappear. When I unplug the
monitors, the terminals are still gone, but if I click on the
thumbnails, they restore, usually in the lower-right rather than the
upper-left and upper-right corners they started in. It seems only to be
these two windows that vanish, not the other four terminals I have on
screen. Terminal borders are contained within the primary laptop screen,
but they do sometimes overlap each other or other windows, and the
transparent halos (or whatever they're called) that the window manager
puts around them are sometimes off-screen. The windows are on the far
right screen edge and on the left flush with the right edge of the dock,
and both flush with the bottom edge of the Activities bar that runs
across the top of the primary display.
Needless to say, my expected behavior is that they don't move or
disappear when external monitors are connected, since they've never been
pulled to external monitors, and that regardless, they appear when their
thumbnails are clicked.
In the same or a possibly related problem, some windows, notably the
Thunderbird appointment reminder list, get reduced to the tiniest
possible size and put on an external monitor, when one is attached.
This requires finding them (usually there is a piece of the title bar
left) and stretching them out.
I use sloppy focus (follow pointer but keep last focused window when
pointer is over background), if that matters.
GNOME Terminal 3.44.0 for GNOME 42.
