So windows in the upper left corner move a little bit, any window that is not in the upper left quadrant go off-screen. Only windows that have not been manually moved will jump. When you first manually move a window after its initial placement itâll âjumpâ to the 2x/2y position and then snap back to where your mouse is.

BTW, I was mildly astonished to find out that this problem seems gone
after updating to Sierra. There might be corner cases where it's still
problematic, but at least for my use-cases it's enormously better.
(Still on XQuartz 2.7.9 btw.)
