multimonitor , window management - windows should not open off display

[John Lea]

On a dual-monitor setup (Latitude e5410, Intel video card), new window positions and resize behaviour is erratic and makes interaction very difficult. One example is:

1. When a window opens on the smaller display (1440x900), it is sized to (I guess) fit in the other one (1600x1050). This means that every time I have to find a visible corner (or drag one into view with alt+click), set the cursor on it (difficult job with a touchpad, the cursor doesn't snap to edges as well as I'd like) and resize.

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

Desired Solution:

- A window should never open into a state where any part of the window is off the display into which it is opened (all four sides of the window must always be visible on the monitor where it was opened). The exception is fixed size windows, or windows that have minimum heights or widths, these windows should fit on to the display into which they are opened when possible.

@Sam, could you list the actions that need taken to solve this, either by you or someone else?

I recall seeing this weird behavior in the past but it seems not to be reproducing with current Unity 4.2 on precise. Can anyone confirm this is still happening, or should this bug be closed as fixed?

Still not reproducing this behavior. Tested with unity 5.2.
