Reworded the bug title because I keep finding duplicates of this issue
and it's hard to direct people here while the bug title only describes
one possible solution instead of describing the problem. Other people
have requested other solutions like honoring their account's own primary
monitor preference as a global setting.
In general it's good bug hygiene to describe the problem only.

Bug description:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/issues/372
The Ubuntu login screen is tiled on all displays, not mirrored, making
it nearly impossible to login when using an external monitor if the
laptop screen is not visible.
There appears to be no available control to alter the display settings
of the login screen. Prior to bionic, the controls followed the mouse
onto different displays so you could login by giving the mouse a swipe
to the right to get the controls to appear.
