Public bug reported: I have 4 monitors connect. Three are turned of physically and under settings/devices/display. One monitor is turned on physically and under settings/devices/display. That one monitor is my primary. When Ubuntu boots, the login screen appears on one of the other monitors and not on the primary. Once I log in, everything works fine and everything displays fine on the single primary monitor.
