With both monitors connected, could you please post the output of $ xrandr $ gsettings list-recursively org.onboard.icon-palette $ gsettings get org.onboard.window force-to-top
It might be that the second monitor is connected left of the built-in screen. This would move the icon out of view when you disconnect and the desktop origin jumps by the size of the HDMI monitor. You'll probably get the icon back with $ gsettings reset-recursively org.onboard.icon-palette.landscape -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1298246 Title: Floating icon disapears after using a second screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1298246/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
