Description Alexander Larsson 2011-03-17 15:06:29 UTC 
In overview mode, when dropping a window on a workspace or thumbnail that is on another monitor we currently just put the window at the top left corner of that monitor.

We should be able to do better than this. For instance, as long as it still puts us on the same monitor (see bug 645028) we should keep the relative position on the monitor as on the old monitor.
Comment 1 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:26:03 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
