Public bug reported:

I am using my laptop in two ways: stand-alone and connected to an
external monitor with a different resolution. I have configured 6
virtual workspaces (3 horizontal, times  2 vertical).

Each time I switch from one to the other (which is about 5 times a day),
windows are moved to other workspaces. This is highly annoying since I
keep like to keep certain windows in certain workspaces.

Not only are windows moved, also the Window-spread (super-w) is confused
and shows windows which are not on the current workspace. Also switching
from window to window (alt-tab) can make windows be moved to another
workspace sporadically.

All this tends to stabilize once I move some windows back to where they
belong, but when I switch monitors again or hibernate: Bam! Chaos again.


I'll have to try other window managers. As of now, this is pretty much unusable 
for me.
