I second this.
When using the Ctrl+Alt+z combination to move a window from one monitor to the other, it simply jumps back onto its former position.

Additional Information:
When a window is unchanged in size (= as it opened), Ctrl+Alt+z is working just fine. But if the same window was being moved around by any of the Ctrl+Alt+Numpad combinations, no keyboard shortcut based movement to another screen is working. It's simply jumping back to its former position.
The only workaround I've found so far seems to be maximizing the window (via Ctrl+Alt+Num5), moving it (via Ctrl+Alt+z) and resizing it again with either Ctrl+Alt+Numpad function.
Mouse based movements are working as expected.

Possible dublicate:
Bug #877443 seems to describe the very same issue.

I think it's important to note that the problem occurs with latest compiz versions 1:0.9.7.8-ubuntu1.4 (precise-proposed) and 1:0.9.7.8-ubuntu1.2 (precise-updates).
It does not, however, occur with version 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu-1vvpreproposed2 (precise).

The whole PUT and GRID plugins are misbehaving. I can't move a window from one monitor to the other, much less from one desktop to the other.

Just as a side note: the preproposed package of compiz delivers very much less issues as the proposed does. The only gain I experienced so far from proposed package is less cpu usage than preproposed. And I'm suffering the blank window regression bug from both packages.

The incompability issue between PUT and GRID plugins persist in Quantal.
