Public bug reported: On a cold boot the first screen on my display, out of three, will show the desktop but with the bottom half of the monitor blank. The desktop is not shrunk to fit the visible section but remains the same size as if the full screen is being used. This results in the lower half of the desktop not being visible. The displays are not mirrored. There are two workarounds:
1. logout and back in again (works every time) 2. turn off the display through system settings -> display and then turning it back on (this sometimes causes the system to hang, pressing [ctrl]+[c] will cause the system to return to login page. When it hangs it states that it cannot disconnect from plymouth.
