Bug Description

When Windows are tiled to left or right on my 2nd display, when I unplug my 2nd display these windows do not get moved to my main display like all the other windows do.

Using Xubuntu 14.04, tested on 2 different machines, one with a clean install.
 xfwm4 version: 4.11.1-2ubuntu2

In this statement you've said the some windows returns to the main window and some not? Unclear to me. The bug affects me, using Xubuntu 14.04, but, no windows get returned after disconnecting my second monitor, which it was on extend mode.
