Bug description

Windows in my setup seem to minimize to the grouped window list on my left screen regardless of which screen the window is on. Maximizing the window to a screen by clicking the maximize button in the top right causes inconsistent behavior; some windows correctly minimize to the same screen some times, some minimize to the left screen always. I would expect the minimizing animation to target the grouped window list on the same screen as the window being minimized.

Similarly, minimizing a focused window on my left screen by clicking the application icon in the grouped window list on the right screen minimizes the application to the right screen. Clicking the icon on the right screen again maximizes the window from the left screen. Clicking the icon a third time minimizes the window to the left screen.

Steps to reproduce

The left and right in my system may be flipped on your system

  1. Set a grouped window list applet onto a panel on two different monitors
  2. Set Show windows from other monitors to From all monitors in both applets
  3. Maximize a window on the right monitor, then minimize it
  4. The minimizing animation of the window targets the grouped window list on the left monitor

and

  1. Set a grouped window list applet onto a panel on two different monitors
  2. Set Show windows from other monitors to From all monitors in both applets
  3. Maximize a window on the left monitor
  4. Click the corresponding application icon on the grouped window list on the right monitor
  5. The minimizing animation targets the grouped window list on the right monitor
  6. Click the same application icon again
  7. The maximizing animation starts from the grouped window list on the left monitor
  8. Click the same application icon again
  9. The minimizing animation targets the grouped window list on the left monitor

Expected behavior

When the minimize button is clicked, the window should minimize to the grouped window list on the same monitor as the window, if one is available. Otherwise, it should minimize to the closest grouped window list.
When an application icon is clicked to minimize an open window, it should either minimize to the grouped window list on the same monitor as the window or the grouped window list that was clicked, but it should do it consistently.
When an application icon is clicked to maximize or open a window, the maximizing animation should start either in the monitor the window would open into or the grouped window list that was clicked, but it should be consistent.
