Bug Description

Problem:

When maximising/minimising/restoring a window by clicking on the item in the launcher, sometimes (often) the animation - which makes the window shrink and 'fly' to or from the dock, will fly in the wrong direction.

Steps to reproduce:

* Have multiple monitors (I think, I don't recall seeing this in a single monitor usage)
* Launch a number of applications
* Click icons in the dock to trigger animation as applications grow and shrink from the launcher up to the workspace.

What should happen:

* Window appears near the dock, and grows to the final location on screen
and
* Window shrinks back down to the dock

What happens:

* Sometimes windows fly up to the top left of the display, *and* to the dock at the bottom. Animation frames flicker all over the place, but mostly both towards the top left and towards the bottom.

It *looks* like alternate frames of animation are flying up and down.

Here is a video of it happening.

----

I am currently running Ubuntu 23.10, but I am sure I have seen this on multiple releases.

I am using multiple displays. Arranged like this:

( 1 )( 2 )
   ( 3 )

1 - external display
2 - external display
3 - Laptop (primary)

The launcher is on the bottom of the primary monitor.
