Firstly, this is not a Unity question, I'm a Ubuntu 'Classic'™ user!



What really annoys me is that everytime I open an office document the libre office writer doesn't appear on the current workspace, but on the one on the left or right. I really don't know where this comes from, but it is a really weird behavior as this only happens to libreoffice writer windows, for instance, presentations are not affected.



For example:
I run 4 workspaces which look like this:



+---+---+

| 1 | 2 |

+---+---+

| 3 | 4 |

+---+---+



If nautilus is on workspace 1, libreoffice writer opens on workspace 2 and vice versa.



If nautilus is on workspace 3, libreoffice writer opens on workspace 4 and vice versa.



I did have a look at the compiz config settings manager, but toggling a few plugins did not help.



Thanks in advance!

you can go to ccsm, in the place window plugin, you should find an option "placement mode".
set it to centred. hope this will do.
Edit: make sure that the plugin "place window" is checked. go to the second tab, which is fixed window placement. then go to "windows with fixed viewport".
there you can grab an application and force it to be opened always in the workspace you choose. that can be a workaround.
