Public bug reported: The boot line indicator is out of sync on my external monitor connected via vga (Philips 241B6Q) with that displayed on my laptop (XMG/Clevo W230SS, nVidia GM107M). If I press the cursor down key, the indicator moves to the second line on my laptop screen, but not on the external monitor. If I press the cursor down key a second time, it moves on the laptop to the third line, and on the external monitor to the second line. The monitor thus displays the last but one state, so that the user frequently selects the wrong boot item. A screen shot is attached. This also happens in combination with other external monitors, so it is most likely a bug in the graphics system.
