The display of the new monitor had some windows protruding that were actually displayed in maximized mode on the internal monitor (GNOME Calendar and Tasks). It wasn't until I selected these windows that they retreated from the external monitor and were maximized only on the internal monitor. The windows should adjust their resolution immediately after the connection and be displayed only on the internal monitor. There are many cases where I don't want to show what's running on my internal monitor.
