Package: gnome
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Recently Gnome desktop has stopped respecting window positions and states after
a sleep cycle.

Our setup is 3x 1920x1080 24" LCD monitors, layed out as 3-1-2.

After a sleep cycle, we regularly find all the apps moved to monitor 3
(sometimes 1) and no-longer maximised.

After repositioning them, pressing the maximise button on more than one app
causes the other apps to no-longer be maximised.

This has only been noticed recently as for the past two months we have been
away from our work PC, upon returning we updated all packages via apt and have
restarted the computer multiple times.

Regards Nikole.
