RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1184347 +++

Description of problem:
Cloned Bug #1184347 since this is still happening in 7.1.

I have dual monitors, primary (with the panel) on the right and secondary on the left. From time to time, an newly opened application window unexplicably jumps to top left corner of my secondary monitor. This seem to happen when the window opens at the far left of my primary monitor - it then jumps right away to top left corner of my secondary monitor. This can however also be reproduced using a different method, se below, which I assume is related.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.8.4-45.el7.x86_64
mutter-3.8.4-14.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move to new workspace
2. Open an gnome-terminal window on primary monitor (right), DO NOT move window position.
3. Lock screen and then unlock. 

Actual results:
The gnome-terminal window has jumped to the top left corner of secondary moniitor.

Expected results:
Window position should remain.

Fixed in 7.1

The bug you marked this as a duplicate of is closed as of RHEL 7.1 and I clearly stated that this bug is still present in 7.1! Either this bug or 1153641 should be reopened for 7.1.

Hi Adam,
the bug 1153641 was actually against mutter and it looks like you are still using the old pkg. Please try the latest mutter-3.8.4-16.el7.x86_64.

yikes, sorry about that!

I had a custom built mutter to fix another problem, it didnt get properly updated to 7.1 this morning. I am now running mutter-3.8.4-16.el7.x86_64 and it seems to work as advertised. 

Again, sorry, thanks for your help.
