I would be very disappointed if this bug was not resolved because my personal work on agent based modelling and development in Java and SciLab/Matlab means I need to use 3 possibly 4 monitors with the centre monitor as my primary monitor.
I didn't comment earlier because after web searches I noticed that this was a problem with any thing based on Ubuntu 14.04 and partly why I wished Freya was based on a new version of ubuntu. Anyway for me the solution posted by Nicolas Bernaerts worked perfectly and consistently. There was the one moment if broken after running a dist-upgrade but I resolved by just rerunning the fix. If it is any help to the developers or other users you can find the fix at

I would help develop an integration of the fix into elementary OS but, my coding skills only go as far as Java a bit of C# and Matlab.
