Okay.  I've marked this as a Feature Request since it is something neither Matlab nor Octave do at the moment.

I tried it, and at least in R2017b it moved figures from the second monitor to the first. But according to their description of the function I should submit a bug report to them too...

As a reference, how does Matlab's findfigs handle figures which are not on the primary monitor?  The documentation (http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/findfigs.html) is not clear on that point.

findfigs improperly moves figures that are on monitors that are not the primary monitor.
It uses get(0,'screensize'), which only returns the size of the primary monitor. It should get and compare to the size of all montiors, which suggests use of get(0,'monitorpositions'). The monitorpositions root figure property, however, currently incorrectly gives info for only a single monitor as reported in bug #48239.
