After resuming from sleep, app windows are in random locations

[Joshua Murphy]

After upgrading to a new Samsung UHD monitor and GeForce GTX 760, when resuming from sleep, open app windows will be in random locations, and on random desktops.

Setup:
1) Samsung UHD Monitor
2) Samsung HD Monitor
3) GeForce GTX 760
4) Ubuntu 14.04

What Happens:
1) Wake from sleep
2) Log in
3) Browser windows are almost always on the UHD monitory, even when it was on the HD monitor when sleep started.
4) Other Windows are randomly scattered amongst displays and amongst workspaces
5) Other windows can appear on other desktop workspaces even if "Enable Workspaces" is not enabled in SystemSetting->Appearance.

Joshua Murphy, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/CROSSHAIR_V_FORMULAZ/HelpDesk_Download/ an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2101). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.
