Package: xfce4-panel
Version: 4.12.1-2
Followup-For: Bug #871523
Dear Maintainer,
this bug was fixed by upstream for the 4.12 release of xfce. I extracted the
patch from
here https://git.xfce.org/users/ochosi/xfce4-panel/log/?h=primary_for_4_12
It would be great if this patch was applied since it really seems that this
issue bothers
lots of people.
Note: In order to get it working I had to reconfigure/reset to configuration
for each panel.
Although the preferences dialog displayed "Primary" as Output, it
actually still used
"Automatic".
To fix this just manually select "Automatic" in the drop box and the
select "Primary"
again.
Best regards,
Robert
