Thanks for the feedback. Just a suggestion but is it strictly necessary for the ordering to be deterministic across reboots? I'm thinking from the perspective of the numbers only being added to the GUI at runtime, not stored or saved with the configuration itself, so the numbers would have no impact on the actual display configuration. So another words it's a purely GUI thing, definitely not stored with the monitor configuration at all so it would have no impact on the order of the monitors for configuration. >From the user's perspective, all the "Identify" button needs to achieve is helping us identify which monitors physically in front of us correspond to the monitors in the dropdown list or laid out in the 2D representation of the screen configuration. So even if the numbers change between reboots, as long as they remain consistent while we're looking at them, that's perfectly fine from my perspective as a user and definitely an improvement. If the choice is between 'no means of telling which monitor is which' and 'having numbers that are not consistent between reboots', I'd say having numbers that are not consistent between reboots would be preferred. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
