Bug Description
This bug occurs on multi-monitor setups with irregular geometry. I have two monitors of different size, in different orientations.
To reproduce:
1. Open a window on Display 1. Maximize, then restore. Resize it so it is larger in one dimension than Display 2. (1.png)
2. Move the window so it is visible only on Display 2. (2.png)
3. Double-click the title bar, or click the maximize button.
Expected: window maximizes on Display 2, where it is visible (3.png)
Observed: window maximizes, but returns to Display 1 (4.png)
Similar behavior can be observed by trying to maximize, on Display 1, a window which is wider than Display 1. The window moves to the wider display (Display 2).
This behaviour is unintuitive and did not occur before upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04; it is a regression.
