Description of problem: I use a monitor as my main display at my desk for my laptop. Sometimes I take my laptop away and come back later reconnect it to the monitor which usually causes all my windows to lose their workspace placement. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mutter-3.18.2-1.fc23 gnome-shell-3.18.3-1.fc23 How reproducible: 85% Steps to Reproduce: 1. use multiple windows on monitor from laptop with laptop display disabled 2. disconnect laptop from monitor 3. reconnect laptop to monitor and disable laptop display Actual results: 3. My windows now all on same workstation Expected results: Windows' workspaces to be preserved. Additional info: After some years and doing this more frequently, this has become so annoying that I made a small script using wmctrl to reset my windows to their usual workspaces. https://github.com/juhp/configuration/blob/master/bin/workspace-reset
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Not sure if it is fixed but seems lot less frequent under F24/F25.
