## Current Behavior

Scratchpad size defined with relative units breaks when using multiple monitors.

My actual configuration is:
```
for_window [instance="__scratchpad"] move scratchpad, resize set 100 ppt 80 ppt, move position 0 ppt 0 ppt, move scratchpad
exec uxterm -name __scratchpad
```
Which seems to work more or less fine in a single monitor, but it is still a little hacky. So as it is a kind of hack I am not sure is this is a bug of the actual implementation or a missing feature to do it propperly.

## Desired Behavior

## Environment

Output of `i3 --moreversion 2>&-`:
