I think you're describing something like bug 1716160, but it's hard to
tell while most of the description is about the old rather than current
behaviour.
Please try to improve the bug description here to be more about the new
behaviour than the old behaviour.

Title:
GNOME Shell disabling wrong screen when docking laptop
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I often switch between working with a docking station, closed laptop
and an external monitor, and an open laptop without docking station or
monitor. I noticed since updating to 17.10 that GNOME Shell would not
switch correctly from the setup where the laptop was being used open
without a docking station to the other. When I opened the laptop in
the docking station the external monitor would come on, and when I
closed the laptop it went off again. I manually switched the primary
screen to be the external one and that solved it for now, so I assume
that GNOME Shell was disabling the external screen instead of the
internal one (it is a bit hard to see, and I have not yet tried ssh-
ing in).
