Pre-requisites:
You need two monitors. I have two 16:9 4K displays, primary on the right, secondary on the left. I don't think this should have an effect, but the right is 60 Hz, and the left is 30 Hz.
Description:
When I open a new window (normal or Incognito), it does not open on the monitor where my cursor is located like it should. For example, I will have the main window and my mouse cursor open on the primary monitor (right), and when I open a new window using the shortcut or the buttons located in the Main Menu or the dock, it opens the new window on the secondary monitor (left). What's more puzzling is that if I enter Activities and try to drag the window to the primary workspace, it just stays in the left monitor's workspace. I actually need to drag the window, using the header bar or using meta, to move it to the primary workspace. This tells me that the window is being placed on the second monitor, but registering to the focused workspace.
Steps to reproduce:
- Setup two monitors, primary on the right, secondary on the left
- Open Web on the primary monitor/workspace
- Open a new window
- Enter Activities and try to move the newly created window from the secondary monitor/workspace to the primary
- Exit Activities overview and drag the window normally to the desired workspace

Additional notes:
If my main window/workspace is on the secondary monitor (left), newly created windows still can't be moved between the primary and secondary workspaces, though it still opens on the left monitor.
Edit:
Added additional system and GNOME Web information.
