gedit opens on wrong screen

[Humphrey van Polanen Petel]

I have two screens.
I have a terminal running on one of the two screens.
When I open gedit from the commandline, it will open on the screen I last mouse-clicked on.
Instead, it should open on teh same screen that the terminal was running.

Thanks for reporting this.

Most likely a duplicate of bug #874146. You can also try to install Compiz Settings Manager and play around with the Window Placement options. See these two comments: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/874146/comments/23 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/874146/comments/24 .

Just for the record: it doesn't always behave as I described.
