Public bug reported:

many windows are opening partially offscreen, some are opening with
almost no vertical component (thus needing stretching out), some warp
(move) on selecting new items.

--

background
my monitor setup is strange, monitor1 is top, monitor2 is below & slightly left


this was first noticed with pcmanfm-qt which would 'jump' or 'warp' (star trek 
warp) to a new location not fully on either monitor & sometimes partially 
off-screen when I selected a new partition (device in left pane)  see  
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm-qt/+bug/1804329

to aid in that bug report, I started taking screen-captures which caused
lximage-qt to load, I maximized the window expecting it to go fullscreen
on monitor2, instead of using all of monitor2 it would use full width
but only about 1/8th of height of the monitor (ie. very little
vertical).

i started `ubuntu-bug pcmanfm-qt` for aforementioned pcmanfm-qt warp
issue, it opened firefox which opened squashed on top of monitor2 like
lximage-qt was...

i wanted my hw specs I list in qa-test reporting (on another system so I
was going to ssh to it) so opened terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and qterminal
opens on monitor1 but with more than half off-screen

** issues

- windows are strangely behaving when I maximize on monitor2 (lximage-
qt, firefox, qterminal etc. they all go full-width bu tonly use 1/8th of
vertical space of the monitor

- some windows are opening off-screen, esp. qterminal using ctrl+alt+t

- some windows warp on some functions & end up, part displayed on one
monitor, some on my other monitor and parts on neither (off-screen);
pcmanfm-qt

- even adding attachments in firefox can

If I use maximize on monitor1 all behavior is as expected.  I'm getting
strange behavior only on my second monitor for maximize (which is my
preferred for this setup with).  It's probably appearing off-screen
because my monitors aren't aligned perfectly (my strange setup).

Even on entering `ubuntu-bug` for this lp.repot, firefox (which was
already open & displayed fully on monitor2 (lower) - the firefox window
warped or jumped so the top was on monitor1, the bulk of it on monitor2
and part now offscreen.

lots of screen images
