[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1425000] Re: Cannot set right monitor as primary in dual monitor configuration
Yes, I encountered same issue on Ubuntu 20.04 with Unity desktop. e.g: a laptop (monitor A) connected with an external monitor B over HDMI. Monitor A is on the left of monitor B. In the "System Settings" >> Displays, I selected "Launcher Placement" as "All displays" In the Terminal on monitor B, when start a new process, e.g: libreoffice or gnome-calculator, the created app is shown on monitor A. Whether it can be changed like this: if a child process is created by process on monitor X, then show the child process also on monitor X. in some situation, if the process is partly on monitor A, partly on monitor B, etc, show the child process on the monitor[0]. (assume that the monitors are an array in the system ). It's like the child process inherited the monitor setting of parent process. At last, whether this is an issue on Unity Desktop or X Window System, or some else ?

I can confirm the same problem exists with Xubuntu x64 16.04 as well. However I can also confirm that this has been a problem with all Ubuntu flavors for many years. The difference now is that nothing can be done on the user side to fix it. After all these years I'd become quite adept at editing display.xml and monitor.xml files, xorg.conf files, etc. but now none of that works. The only thing I haven't tried is changing Compiz settings, but that's because Xubuntu doesn't run Compiz by default, and people running Compiz have already reported that it can't be fixed their anyway. I know the developers work hard and always have their plates full, but if they could at least fix it enough that we could edit conf files again it would be great. ** Also affects: xfwm4 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425000 Title: Cannot set right monitor as primary in dual monitor configuration Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xfwm4 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Unity always considers the left monitor as the default/primary one when in a dual-monitor configuration.
