Hello boffi,
Thank you for helping us to make Compiz better.
I'm using Debian Stretch with the latest Compiz version and my
configuration of the place window module is as follow:
- Placement Mode: Smart
- Multi Output Mode: Use active output device
On my system, the first one is opened on the top-left and the second-one
on the bottom-left.
Could you try with this configuration and restart your computer after that?
Could you please tell me what applications are you trying to launch ?
Maybe the behavior could be different between software.
Best regards,
Alex.

Version: 1:0.9.13.1+18.04.20180302-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I activated the "Place Windows" plugin
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
n/a
* What was the outcome of this action?
irrispective of the algorithm chosen, the plugin insists on placing new
windows BELOW existing windows (not always but most of the times)
* What outcome did you expect instead?
every WM I used (and that comprised compiz+place_windows, until recently)
placed new windows above existing windows, because when a user
instantiates a new window, either using a shortcut and the "Commands"
plugin, a desktop launcher or a system menu, said user 99.3% wants to
use the new window immediately
That said, I'm trying to use compiz standalone (no DE) with the support of
a dock/panel (either tint2 or cairo-dock).
I'd like to help fixing this problem giving you any further additional info.
Thank you in advance, gb
