Window restored on wrong display on startup

[Robin Green]

I have two Firefox windows, each with a bunch of tabs, one on each of my two displays. When I quit Firefox, these windows are obviously on different displays. When I reboot and start Firefox, each of the windows gets opened on the same display. I'd expect the windows to be restored on the display they were originally on (if the external display is plugged in and enabled, which it usually is).

I use KDE and Xinerama (partly because this is the only working configuration I could find where I can use two displays and drag windows between displays, with this particular hardware).

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
