Further to comment #4, last I checked (when working on Mir) it was
impossible to distinguish between a plugged in monitor that is on and
one that is off. In software we can't tell the difference. It's detected
all the same :(

Title:
With multiple monitors, live sessions and the installer should use
clone mode, not spanning.
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The installation system comes up expecting 2 displays and the window
decorations are in the non visible screen as is the control panel for
performing the install. By bringing the cursor to the active screen
(it starts out far left off screen), I can start a terminal from the
menu and then start gnome-control-center to fix the display and then
the installation can proceed.
I've seen this reported as a freeze, but it's not and just an issue
with the display. Perhaps because it fails to detect the proper
monitor (mine is an ASUS VS22). I also have an LG monitor, but this
has a different problem by returning bad config info (the screen size
is reported incorrectly)
This occurred when installing the current 18.04 desktop distribution
and behaves the same for EFI or BIOS boot.
