Windows app moves between monitors

Last weeks I updated from workstation 41 to 43. Almost everything works well, but I have an issue with the screen: sometimes, when I move a window from one monitor to another (Win + Shift + keys), it moves well but after some time it moves to the previous monitor (not sure if it’s time or changing focus, etc).

This occurs independently of the application. But it seems to happen only when moving between the two external monitors (not the built in).

Do you have any clue or something I should check?

Thanks in advance

Does this happen with one app or lots of apps?

With more than one (at least notepad, geany, firefox).

I have the same issue with two external monitors (not using the internal one, laptop closed). I thought it had a link with the extension auto move windows but even with it disabled it is a problem. I think it is when I change focus in my case, I click on firefox on screen 2 and emacs jumps to screen 2.

Edit: I turned off the second monitor while I find the issue and the monitor stays in the displays list in gnome settings :thinking: Did it always do that?

Monitors can be detected even when turned off.

Yes, it seems something related to the focus of windows.

No, after some “movements” of the window, at some point, it stays at the proper position.
