Title:
  Removing an external monitor will move a maximized window to the
  current workspace

Status in Compiz:
  Fix Committed
Status in Compiz 0.9.11 series:
  In Progress
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “compiz” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Many users tend to have maximized window opened on other workspaces
  and use an external monitor such as a projector or one connected to a
  laptop docking station.  When removing this monitor, these maximized
  windows will get shuffled to the current workspace.  This can be
  aggravating for users and is not a good user experience.

  [Test case]

  1. Have an external monitor.
  2. Use multiple workspaces.
  3. Open a window and maximize it on a workspace such as workspace 2.
  4. Move to another workspace such as workspace 3.
  5. Remove the external monitor.

  [Regression potential]

  The code here is quite fragile and can be prone to some unexpected
  behaviors.  I took great care in trying to make sure no new
  regressions are caused by this fix, but there may be some corner case
  that is unaccounted for.  Also note that there are already some broken
  behaviors in this area that are unfixed by this code, so keep that in
  mind when testing that it truly isn't a regression.

  Original Description:

  Removing an external monitor when using multiple workspaces will cause
  maximized windows on other workspaces to move to the current
  workspace.

  Scenario:
  1. Have an external monitor.
  2. Use multiple workspaces.
  3. Open a window and maximize it on a workspace such as workspace 2.
  4. Move to another workspace such as workspace 3.
  5. Remove the external monitor.

  Expected behavior:
  Maximized window will remain on the workspace it was opened on.

  Observed behavior:
  Maximized window moves to the current workspace
