[Bug 1634220] Re: Wallpaper does not resize correctly when adding external display
It looks like it is related to the positions of the two displays to each other. I normally like the internal display to be below the external one. By default it tries to layout the display next to each other. When adding the external display I can see the wallpaper twice on the external display. On the left the small one that should probably be shown on the internal display and on the right side the large one that should normally be used for the external display. After a few moments the large one is shown on the exeternal display and the internal display has a black background. When I switch to the virtual desktop on the right side I do see the small wallpaper in the top left corner surrounded by the flickering. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634220 Title: Wallpaper does not resize correctly when adding external display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1634220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am also using VGA and don't have any detection problems. I don't know if I have the same issue as OP though.

I'm not sure if it is a dupe.

I think I have the same bug with Ubuntu 16.10. 16.04 was fine. Additionally, setting a new wallpaper is a bit slow. The new wallpaper appears after a delay of 2 seconds without any special effect (no fading in/out).
