Boot into 11.04 with single laptop monitor (Dell Latitude D830). Suspend okay on lid closing. Open lid with external 1080p monitor connected. Many windows have apparently disappeared from the display (4 desktops) but can eventually be found almost off the screen on the left-hand side, a mere 10 or so pixels wide. They have to be dragged back onto the display with ALT-F7 and can then be resized using the mouse. Other windows have just "gone", and I have to kill their PIDs before I can restart them from the Unity toolbar.

Under Ubuntu 10 I had no such problems, looks like a Unity issue. Any solutions apart from regressing to Gnome 2?

well, if the suspend feature is not so important to you, you can just change the options , so when lid closed it'll be blank screen. and then the problem i hope will disappear . to change it search for " power management" in the dash and change the option there. there are a lot of problems i'm having too at this stage with dual monitoring, because of the proprietary drivers, i know mine is not an actual answer but it's a try to work things around. if there is no bug filed yet, please try to report a bug on launchpad.

Thanks for the response, suli8. It is important for avoiding a flat battery that it go into suspend mode. So I've logged it as a bug with launchpad [Bug 799012] [NEW] Windows shrink to 10 pixels wide in waking from suspend – Jan Newmarch Jun 18 '11 at 1:53
