Bug Description

After upgrading to 14.04 LTS, compiz Grid plugin is not producing the expected behavior. I am using the defalut keyboard shortcts to place windows on the left/right of the current display. Placing on the left side works properly; however, when I have a window on my left-side Display, and I press <Control><Alt>KP6 to put it on the right side of the display, one of these three events happen at random:

* Sometimes it works correctly and places the window on the right half of the screen.
* More often, it puts the window on the right-half of the *other display*.
* Sometimes it puts the window on the right side of the same dispaly, but with a one-inch margin on the right side (so not touching the edge of the display).

This problem didn't exist with 12.04 LTS or 13.10 on the same machine with the same config.
