After upgrading to xfce4.12 I have issues with the panel.
I use a dual monitor setup. On the left side a big monitor, on the right a laptop which is set as primary. I use one panel, horizontal, spanning the top of the laptop display. When I open windows (thunar,firefox, ...) they are placed in the top left corner of the display BEHIND the panel (option "don't reserve space on borders" is unchecked). I can get the disired window behavior back when I open the panel preferences dialog and close it again without making any changes. Another option is moving the window with alt. Both options only work for currently opened windows. I have to do this again for every window I open on the laptop display. The other display works fine ( I created a second panel to test this).
In addition, double-click to maximize does only work on the left display, not on the laptop display.
Also I upgraded lightdm at the same time
Anyone else who encounters this behaviour? Any solutions?
Regards

Also on a dual monitor setup and I can't replicate your issue. Have you tried creating a new account to see if its profile-specific? I've seen reports of upgrade issues where certain config files needed to be reset to get the appropriate behaviour.

Created a new user. The problem still exists. Quite a bit disappointing.
EDIT: I think the problem is caused by xfwm4. I can run xfwm4 --replace, after that everything works as expected. It's like the window manager in version 4.12 only manages one display by default.
