Undocking laptop moves windows to different workspaces they were originally

[Markus Peuhkuri]

I use desktop with 2x2 workspaces. As hardware, I use dual-head display, i.e. using laptop internal monitor and external monitor connected to docking station.

When I undock laptop, in many cases windows move to another workspace they were before undocking. This is a bit annoying as I have windows related to each task in their own workspace and I has to move windows around each time I undock.

Is there a command that allows listing windows by workspace, with positions?

That would help finding out where each window goes in each change of external display.

Another undesired behaviour:

1. Undock laptop
2. Suspend laptop by closing lid
3. Resume, open screen lock
4. Click on window (maximised, under another smaller window)
5. Window vanishes
6. Window found on another (one to right) workspace.

Similar click on window (or pick one with Alt-Tab) often causes window to get lost and only way to find it is to use Super-Shift-w search for window title. Very annoying feature as work spaces are used just for optimise each task and now I use more time to hunt "where the window did go" than is saved by those.
