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.
