In the gnome-tweak-tool, I clicked "Workspaces" on the left and then
changed "Workspaces only on primary display" from "On" to "Off"

Maybe "Off" would be a better default, people have blogged about this
setting:

This is not a complete fix, in a couple of brief tests I observed that
windows remain on the same workspaces when I suspend and undock the
laptop, but I still observed problems such as the workspace switcher
applet showing the thumbnail workspaces being the wrong size with big
gaps around them
