Bug Description

Binary package hint: metacity

Some windows are "jumping off" or switching to the secondary display after loading e.g. evince shows it's self on secondary display (as determined by cursor position or previous load position) but when it's finished loading the document it jumps to the primary display.

I'm not sure where to even start debugging this. And can't guarantee that it is a metacity problem

Video of said problem.

Note that this does not happen if the window start off in "restored" state ie not maximised
