Removing the extensions has the same effect. Block Caribou 36 is necessary as the Point of Sale system (Open source) already has all the buttons and keyboard that are necessary for the use of the Point of Sale system. Yet it contains text entry fields which pop up the on-screen keyboard. There are more touchscreen applications that tablets, such as Kiosks and Point of Sale systems.
"gsettings set org.gnome.mutter center-new-windows true" is an easter- egg joke, it puts the windows halfway between the two screens, then stacks them on top of each other. "I think this is probably occurring because the primary display is occupied by a window already. So any more new windows go to the next display that has empty space. If that's true then this is not a bug. And hopefully #3 is good enough." This is a serious bug as the screens are opposing one another. There are two different people with two different information goals looking at each screen. Both screens are occupied by full screen windows. One is the point of sale interface for the cashier and the other is the customer display screen showing the products the customer is purchasing. The expected behavior is to put the window on the same monitor to where the button to open the new window has been pressed. I'll see if I can muster up some screenshots to make it more visual as to what is going on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888098 Title: Ubuntu 20.04 gnome-shell places windows on second screen when started from primary screen Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS gnome-shell: Geïnstalleerd: 3.36.3-1ubuntu1~20.04.2 What I expected to happen: When clicking a button on the primary screen to open a new window in any application, that window should always open on the same monitor. What happened instead: Gnome-shell in Ubuntu 20.04 insists on placing new windows on the secondary monitor. Why this is a problem: My setup are Point of Sale terminals and the primary (a touchscreen) and secondary monitors are back to back. When the cashier presses the payment type button, the payment type pop-up is opening on the secondary screen which is displayed to the customer and not accessible to the cashier who needs to complete the transaction. The cashier can't move the pop-up on their own as there is no keyboard access (all buttons needed are in the application it self), and the touchscreen touches on itself (most of the time). In the past I was able to fix this with devilspie. As this problem has been around since Ubuntu 10.04. Was fine in Unity and 16.04/18.04 gnome-shell. But now devilspie is ignored by gnome-shell in 20.04 and gnome-shell keeps opening all the windows on the secondary screen. I've tried various gnome extensions and gnome-tweaks but none of them will open all windows (except the customer display) on the primary monitor only.
