Hi,

I'm using e 0.25 from early January.

I've 2 monitors (1 laptop and 1 external), both QHD. I've set up 3x3
desktops for both monitors. Desktop [1,1] is set to tiling mode on
each zones. When I open 2 windows on zone 1, desktop 1,1 - they are
tiled as expected. So far so good. When I disconnect the external
monitor those windows are moved to zone 0, desktop 1,1, still good.
However when I reconnect the external monitor, the 2 windows are not
moved back to zone 1, but moved to a seemingly random desktop on zone
0 (away from [1,1]. Any idea, why does this happen?

hmm that should not happen (random desktop). i have done this without tiling and all the windows move back to their previosu desktop if i unplug/plug in a screen. perhaps its a tiling module issue that needs looking at? is this only when you have tiling on?

Yes, this only happens when tiling is on. The windows on the other desktops move correctly back to their screen (unless E is restarted when only 1 screen is active - but I guess this is expected).

hmmm. i guess this is something to dig intlo tiling then. i'll have to put this on the "backburner" for now as my time is being spent on my efm work.
