Bug Description

Unmaximizing a window doesn't return to the initial size/position. They keep moving to the right and get a bit smaller, e.g a remote desktop window (Remmina) that fitted exactly before maximize will now extend into the other monitor and have scrollbars.

--------------------------------

Desired Solution:

- When a maximised window is restored either by using the 'restore' window decoration button, or double clicking on empty space in the Top Bar, the window should be restored to exactly the same position it was last in. Currently there is a bug that causes the window to jump slightly to the right each time the window is restored.

Assigning me, but I'm pretty sure I fixed this a week ago.

Yep, I remember seeing this effect myself in oneiric, but I am not able to reproduce it now. Running wmctrl -lG in one window while maximizing/unmaximizing another window on the other screen seems to work fine. I also tested with a second window and various positions of the sample windows, and unmaximizing always restored to the previous location.

So given sam's comment I think this can be marked fixed. If someone still sees the original behavior please provide a more detailed test case of how to reproduce it.
