Description

1- Start an application.
2- Open a new window, another instance of the application or a new application.

**Result:** The new window/instance/app should be open on the top left.

1- Open the calculator and then a browser.
2- Put the browser in fullscreen. The browser is now on workspace 2.
3- Return to workspace 1 (calculator). Open another browser window.

**Result:** The browser window on point 3 should be also open in the top left of the screen, but if the fullscreen mode in the first browser window (point 2) is disabled, when it returns to workspace 1, it should reposition itself to be a little bit down and to the right of the window open in point 3 so it won't cover the second browser window.

This would make it easier to see if there is more than one open windows of the same application in a workspace.

Question: How would applications saved window position work if this gets implemented?
