Description Julien Cristau 2010-01-11 17:24:25 UTC 
[I originally filed this as bugs.debian.org/564732 but was asked to forward here]

plugging an external monitor on my laptop and running "xrandr --output
VGA1 --auto --left-of LVDS1" results in all windows moving from the
LVDS1 output to the VGA1 one, which is quite annoying (doubly so because
a subsequent "xrandr --output VGA1 --off" will not move them back to
their original positions).  The windows don't move if VGA1 is placed to
the right of LVDS1, IIRC.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
