Q: Multiple displays: Window arrangement changes when plugging/unplugging monitors
I have experienced the above symptom for some time. When I plug or unplug monitors into my Mac all of the applications that I had laid out on various spaces gets all jumbled up. For example, OmniFocus on "Space 3" moves to another space. The same symptom occurs when I disconnect my monitor.
I understand that resolutions change meaning that the apps themselves may not retain the same size on the space. Furthermore I also realise that spaces may move to different displays. Ultimately though, I would have through the same amount of spaces should not either increase or decrease nor should applications move between spaces when connecting/disconnecting external displays.
Is this just happening to me or do others experience the same problems? Does anyone use particular applications to manage this issue?
