ok ive found a work around for the issue!

What I do is:
1. enable the second screen from the display dialog (by default its on the
right)
 At this point the behavior is correct, applications still open on the primary
(left) screen.

2. move the secondary display to the left of the primary by drag and drop
 At this point the behavior breaks, the left screen becomes the primary, like
the setting is no updating.

3. This is the hacky fix. Set the left screen now as the primary screen. The
behavior is now "correct" but then we set the main screen (right) back to
primary and now it has been fixed! All windows and applications are working and
opening on the primary (right) screen!

So I guess that the primary screen flag needs to be reset if you move the
screens from one side to the other...

That setting is unfortunately only for Windows not providing a 
positioning hint. Many applications do and the window manager is 
supposed to follow that hint - even if it is nonsense.

You have to report to the misbehaving applications.
