as the title suggests, I have a bit of a problem with my 3rd monitor. Whenever all monitors go into sleep mode, the same app windows always appear on the 3rd monitor when I wake them up and not as I would expect them on the primary monitor (Or let's say where they were displayed before the monitors went into sleep mode).
As I have 3 monitors and have a strict habit where which program/window should be displayed, it is pretty annoying to always place the windows to their previous monitor.
What I did already was:
deleting monitors.xml in ~/.config
unplugging the 3rd monitor from the graphics card
deactivating the 3rd monitor in settings and re-enabling it
to no avail. It's again rather a cosmetic issue, but as I have the timer for deep sleep set to a very small amount, I find myself re-arranging the windows 10-15 times a day which is of course not optimal.
If you have any idea I'd be very happy to hear it. I use an AMD RX 6800XT btw if that helps anything.
This would drive me nuts. It's not cosmetic, it's a complete interruption to work flow.
This is part of why, for me, wmctrl and xdotool are among the very first utilities I install on Zorin Lite.
It's also why I prefer Zorin OS Lite (XFCE) so I can save session on logout- a feature Gnome lacks.
What you can try on (Zorin Core) Gnome:
Delete the monitors.xml file, again.
Position your windows as you want them.
Ensure that libxml2-utils is installed:
