[Bug 1164485] Re: update-manger launches to Wrong Desktop

[Lonnie Lee Best]

Workaround:

System Settings > Appearance > Enable workspaces

When workspaces is enabled, the behavior is as desired.

This is kind of strange, because even when workspaces isn't enabled,
you'd think it would behave the same way given that a dual monitor setup
does indeed have one workspace with two desktops.

However, unless workspaces are enabled, update-manager launches to
Monitor 1 when you click its launcher from Monitor 2.

Title:
  update-manger launches to Wrong Desktop

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Typically, when I click a launcher on Monitor 2, I expect its window
  to pop-up on Monitor 2.

  Unexpectedly, update-manager launches to Monitor 1 regardless of
  whether  I click its launcher on Monitor 2 or its launcher that is on
  Monitor 1.

  So, I'm intentionally mousing over to click its launcher on Monitor2,
  in hopes that it will launch to Monitor 2 (so, that it doesn't pop-up
  in front of the work I'm doing on Monitor 1), yet no matter what it
  pops up on Monitor 1.
