Public bug reported: I use multiple desktops to organize open applications. Also, I am currently using multiple monitors. If I arrange my applications (e.g. Chrome on the laptop screen of desktop one, Geany on the attached monitor on desktop 1, another chrome on the laptop screen of desktop 2, another app on the attached monitor on desktop 2) and then lock the screen, when I unlock all of the applications have moved around. Sometimes they all move to desktop 1, sometimes they are resized and half off the screen. But they are rarely on the same screen and desktop that I left them on.
This is new behavior since the latest version upgrade. Previously, applications stayed on the screens where I left them.
