** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Many users tend to have maximized window opened on other workspaces and + use an external monitor such as a projector or one connected to a laptop + docking station. When removing this monitor, these maximized windows + will get shuffled to the current workspace. This can be aggravating for + users and is not a good user experience. + + [Test case] + + 1. Have an external monitor. + 2. Use multiple workspaces. + 3. Open a window and maximize it on a workspace such as workspace 2. + 4. Move to another workspace such as workspace 3. + 5. Remove the external monitor. + + [Regression potential] + + The code here is quite fragile and can be prone to some unexpected + behaviors. I took great care in trying to make sure no new regressions + are caused by this fix, but there may be some corner case that is + unaccounted for. Also note that there are already some broken behaviors + in this area that are unfixed by this code, so keep that in mind when + testing that it truly isn't a regression. + + Original Description: + Removing an external monitor when using multiple workspaces will cause maximized windows on other workspaces to move to the current workspace. Scenario: 1. Have an external monitor. 2. Use multiple workspaces. 3. Open a window and maximize it on a workspace such as workspace 2. 4. Move to another workspace such as workspace 3. 5. Remove the external monitor. Expected behavior: Maximized window will remain on the workspace it was opened on. Observed behavior: Maximized window moves to the current workspace
