Why are you starting xterm before Compiz ? The easiest way to avoid
issues is to launch the first window after Compiz.
If you launch the first issue after launching Compiz, does the issue
still persist ?
Best regards,
Alex.

Dear Alex,
I've checked and my settings are exactly
- Placement Mode: Smart
- Multi Output Mode: Use active output device
To have a trace of the window placement, I have started my system with
the following ~/.xsession file
#!/bin/bash
xset m 5 3
# fbsetroot -gradient vertical -fg red4 -bg orangered3
xterm & sleep 0.2
xmodmap .compose
compiz &
# cairo-dock -w 3 -o > /dev/null 2>&1 &
exec my_sleep 365d
and, from the xterm that was started from .xsession I started a number
of xterminals of different background color, then I made a screen dump
of the current situation --- please find in attachment a compressed
version of the screen dump.
As you can see, the problem is (mostly?) the pre-existing window,
i.e., the original xterm that covers part of some of the new windows
(e.g., the black one is completely under the 1st xterm)
Thank you for your intervention ፨ g

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.

Package: compiz-plugins
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
