If I plug in external monitor, move a window to it, maximize window and remove external monitor, window is moved to the same workspace primary screen - this is correct behavior, but when I un-maximize it - window moves to different workspace. This most likely is because original window positions are not updated after removing the monitor and un-maximize still uses those old values to move the window to supposedly original position.
Another use case is when window movement is somewhat wrong - external monitor plugged in, window is maximized on primary screen, move focus to different workspace, unplug the monitor, move back to the workspace when we have fullscreen window, unmaximize it - window un-maximizes not to original position, it's moved away by the same mount of pixels as external monitor width is.

I expect that window stays on the same workspace - once it's on it it should not move unless I do that manually, also I expect that un-maximizing moves window to original position, not different.

This is continuation of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/763148, fullscreen window bug was separated as per "Christopher Townsend (townsend) wrote on 2013-04-18".

P.S. Most likely bug can be fixed quite easy as behavior is similar to bug I mentioned, hopefully this can be included in the same SRU.

thanks in advance
