Description leo android CLA 2020-03-25 14:07:28 EDT
I run on OpenSuSe, WayLand, with two monitors.

I customize my perspective that I have one main window for code editing on the primary screen. I have additional Views (e.g. Package, Debug, Console, etc) as a separate Window on the second monitor (=second screen). 

When I restore the perspective the Window on the second screen is ALWAYS restored to the first screen. It is NEVER placed on the second screen.

When I use Gnome with XOrg than the restore is perfect, i.e. the (additional) Window is always restored to the second screen.

Additionally I want to mention that minimizing the Eclipse on the main screen does not necessarily minimize the second Window. It could happen that the second Window isn't initiated properly. But when I either reset the Perspective or switch to another one and back than the minimize mechanism works properly.

I observe this behaviour especially after Eclipse is launched. I need to reset the Perspective to have a proper synch of the two windows.
