Bug Description

I have two monitors that are both physically and through config stacked on top of each other. The bottom one is set as the primary. When I switch between workspaces, the applications can be seen moving through the secondary monitor on top. I would expect them to stay confined to one screen. An example can be seen in the youtube below.
