Bug Description

I have 2 monitors, left and right.
I think the right monitor is the primary monitor.
If I put the remmina window on the right monitor and choose the fullscreen button on the toolbar, the window becomes full screen on the right monitor. (Good.)
If I put the remmina window on the left monitor and choose the fullscreen button on the toolbar, the window becomes full screen on the right monitor. (Bad.)

Forgot to mention:
This is using Precise, with Unity (3D) and latest package updates (including the fix for bug 946388) as of this morning.
This is a regression from Lucid, as remmina goes fullscreen on whichever monitor I put the window under Lucid.

Me too :) Ubuntu Precise 64-bit, nvdia quadro.
Remmina fullscreen always goes to right display, even executing full screen on left - the primary screen.

This bug persists in 13.10 saucy, and will likely end up in 14.04 trusty LTS, if not fixed soon.

Is there any information I can provide to help resolve this?

Remmina always goes to right monitor. If I swap my monitors in the Displays config app, then Remmina goes to the new right monitor. (So it appears to have nothing to do with which monitor is primary, only which one is on the right.)

So the workaround is to set the monitor where you want Remmina as the monitor on the right side. (And even if you change which monitor is on the right after fullscreening Remmina, it will move itself to that screen.)
