Unable to reproduce the issue on chrome reported version# 71.0.3578.80 using Ubuntu 17.10 with steps mentioned below:
1) Launched chrome reported version and pressed 'Ctrl+N', able to see new window opened on top of current windows
2) Again clicked on 'Ctrl+N', window opened on top of new window

@Reporter: Please find above mentioned information and let us know if we missed anything in reproducing the issue. Let us know if this issue is specific to Gentoo currect.

Thanks!

I also experienced this problem with v71.

Chrome version: 71.0.3578.98-1.x86_64
OS version: RHEL 7.5
Flash player: Not enabled

New login or reboot did not help.

I have a dual monitor setup, and new windows always open on secondary monitor, both in v70 and v71.

I am using the xfwm4 window manager with dual monitors. Perhaps one of these factors is an issue. I will test 71.0.3578.98 once it builds.

There does appear to be a issue with dialogs (save file, etc) opening on the wrong monitor, but I don't think that's new in 71, so it's a separate bug.

Thank you for providing more feedback. Adding the requester to the cc list.

As per comment# 4 from the reporter, issue requires Linux Dual monitor setup to test and confirm it. 
Tried testing it by connecting Linux laptop to external/dual monitor, somehow connector is not detected. Hence routing this to Inhouse team for further triaging the issue. Adding UI>Shell>Display component and TE-NeedsTriageFromHYD lebel to it.

Thanks!

I can confirm this still happens with 70.0.3578.98.

Tested this issue on Debian rodete (dual monitor setup) using chrome #71.0.3578.98. Below are the observations:

1. Was able to reproduce this issue but this is very inconsistent in behavior so unable to provide bisect for this issue.
2. Reporter mentioned in C#0 that this is working fine in #70.0.3538.110 but i was able repro this once using #70.0.3538.110.

Marking this issue as Untriaged and adding labels accordingly. 

Thanks!

I've been seeing this problem on my laptop screen of my Linux laptop for some time now. (Sorry, I'm not really sure when this started.) I've been running Chrome beta on my laptop.

I've recently started seeing this problem on my Linux desktop. (I'm running Chrome stable on my desktop, and I have two monitors there.)

I've also got this issue but only when running X11. When I switch to wayland, it no longer occurs. Please make sure you're testing under X11. I also have two monitors (but one is disabled while testing, so I'm mostly certain that's not the problem).

I can also confirm that #8 poster above when opening many new windows (use Ctrl+n 20 times or so) shows inconsistent behavior. The 4th-5th window opens in the background even when using wayland. 

This also seems to be happening when I press Ctrl+Shift+t to reopen a window that I've closed. (The window opens behind the current window.)
