Its a shame a new issue was created for this. The problem has been around for over 7 years and by creating a new ticket it looses just how many people this affects.
In my case, I have 3 monitors connected to a Dell Latitude laptop. One of the monitors seems to take longer to wake up than the others. As stated by others, this delay causes some windows to move from one to another. Chrome's windows are stable, but they implemented everything them selves so we can exclude them. Gnome terminals, Remmina windows, KeePassX all move around.
It is related to the slow monitor issue because Gnome terminals often get resized which indicates they have been migrated to another windows and squished to fit the smaller resolution.
Maybe a fix would be to allow a delay to be set between waking up the screen and when they appear so we don't trigger the shuffling of windows. However really the issue is they are not being restored back to their original position after monitor plug events.
