ID 373898 - When using a workspace across two monitors, the windows may stack depending on which screen the mouse cursor is on

Follow

Problem summary
When you have two monitors and the default workspace setting is set to have multiple windows open up on different displays (ie. the node editor on the left display and a viewer window on the right monitor) when you launch Nuke, if you place your cursor on the right monitor the windows will all stack in front of each other on the right monitor.


This issue has only been reproduced on CentOS 6 & 7 with the XCFE desktop environment.


Customer reported version
nuke.n/a


Customer reported platform
n_a_linux


Steps to reproduce


1) Add the attached XML into your ~/.nuke/Workspaces/Nuke directory. Alternatively, you can create a new Workspace - the attached example has the Node Graph on the left monitor and the Viewer on the right monitor.


2) Open Nuke and set the custom workspace to be default (Edit > Preferences > Behavior > Startup > Startup workspace).

3) Close Nuke.


4) Reopen Nuke while mousing over the right hand monitor. Notice that all of the windows stack on top of each other.
