Public bug reported:
Certain programs don't seem to co-operate well with a dual monitor
setup. If it is of any importance, my setup is a laptop with a TV
plugged in via HDMI. So far I've found that VLC media player and Oracle
Virtualbox won't play nicely with two monitors. When both monitors are
in use, virtualbox crashes before it can open, and vlc tends to freeze
the entire system, requiring a hard reboot. If I run these programs
while only one monitor is being used and plug in the second one, they'll
start misbehaving if moved to the other monitor. virtualbox and vlc will
both become way too huge to be usable.
