  is this related to somewhat similar situation when I drag the window
across the borders of screen so that I get to the adjacent screen and
place it there, in some cases the window does not appear on the expected
side of screen but on the other side (e.g. I enetered the screen from
right, place window there and it's suddenly on the left side). this
happens only in few case, usually when I move the mouse back to previous
screen to quickly (could it be that the screen is correctly determined
but the mouse position is the new one in the screen I switched to
immediately after placing the window)?
