Place pop-ups/child windows centred on a physical display when using Unified Desktop

Project Member Reported by woogie@chromium.org, Jan 13 2017

Issue description

Description:


Use case:
Whenever the Unified Desktop feature is configured, the monitors will be recognized as a unique monitor in the display settings in Chrome OS. By doing this, any pop-up, or application that is launched, will show up split in between the monitors. For example, in a two monitors configuration, half part of the pop-up will show up in the left monitor, and the other half in the right monitor. 

Motivation:
Every pop-up or child window requires user intervention to be read comfortably or used. Even simple dialogs, which would normally be dismissed with a single click, have to be click-drag-moved to one physical display or another in order to be read without difficulty.

Existing workarounds:
Using extended monitor mode, which does not permit expanding windows across physical displays; or manually moving every new child/pop-up to work with them.
