Public bug reported:
!What I expected to happen
Windows stay in the same place with the same dimensions
!What happenes (happens) instead
Open windows will be re-arranged. Some will be resized, others maximized
and some hidden. If workspaces are enabled, some windows will be moved
to a different workspace.
Some of the ways to reproduce this:
* with workspaces enabled, merely switching workspaces (often but not always)
* with or without workspaces enabled, if the machine goes to sleep/suspend
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
Problem reproduced on multiple machines less than a year old:
* System76 Lemur with external Dell monitor +
* 2016 HP Spectre x360 with a standard install of Ubuntu) with no external
display
Frequency: very (essentially any time I'm away from a machine for more
than about ten minutes).
!Attempted Solutions
* Disable all hot corners/edges, etc. on both machines
* turned off the Lemur's internal display (the psuedo disable in System
Settings > Display).
* turned off workspaces on Lemur
The only noticable difference was that it reduced the places I had to
hunt for the windows I need to move and resize to begin work again.
e.g. put my Development environment back in working order.
