Description Mourad De Clerck 2011-09-21 05:07:18 UTC 
steps to reproduce:

- open gedit
- maximize gedit
- close gedit
- move the mouse cursor to the secondary screen
- press alt-F2
- type in "gedit" to launch it again

--> gedit will start up on the screen where the cursor is, and a fraction of a second after it appears, it will jump to the other screen

it should stay where it starts up.
Comment 1 Alban Crequy 2012-11-23 13:40:06 UTC 
I could reproduce the bug only when I open a file with gedit from the command line (i.e. alt-F2 and type something like "gedit /tmp/file.txt").
