google-chrome, firefox,
when start these applications in Terminal on monitor B, they can show on the
monitor B.
but most other app can not.
Thanks!

Yes, I encountered same issue on Ubuntu 20.04 with Unity desktop.
e.g: a laptop (monitor A) connected with an external monitor B over HDMI.
Monitor A is on the left of monitor B.
In the "System Settings" >> Displays, I selected "Launcher Placement" as
"All displays"
In the Terminal on monitor
I'm on 20.04 and this is still an issue for me. I know this bug is
considered invalid and won't be fixed, but is there still hope this can
be fixed?

> It's still the same. You can select primary monitor, but most
applications will not respect it and will run only on the left monitor.
If your primary monitor is on the right, everything works perfectly
though.
I have the same behavior with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Having this bug not fixed is one of the main reason why people like
other operating system than Linux. This is a basic feature and option
that should not takes hours and command line to use.
By the way "Settings > Device > Display, just show Could not get screen
information" on my side.
However,
Unbelievable. It's 2018 and the bug is still unresolved.
The ungrateful bitch I am cannot convince people to use Linux if such basic
defects exist :(

Just a quick update on Ubuntu 17.10. Yes, you can change your primary
monitor on Gnome 3.26. You'll just have to go to "Settings > Display"
and click on "Primary Screen" (i'm translating that to enlgish, so it
might not be exactly this name) and select the monitor that you'll have
as your primary
Sorry, to complement my comment.
I'm running xfwm4 and xrandr says my big monitor IS the primary.
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y
Still the same on Xubuntu / Ubuntu 17.04.
There are a few places to set which is the primary display, but they are
useseless.
I have the option in nVidia Settings and Display in Settings. None help.
It's very anoyting, since my big monitor is on the right, and as I open
new things, or even Save
This bug still happens in Ubuntu x86_64 17.10 development branch with
Gnome 3.26.

Can confirm this bug is still present in Ubuntu 16.10.
Seems like a pretty basic thing to implement, and it´s present on all
other operating systems. When will this be fixed? All it is is a
checkbox on Display Settings saying ¨Primary Monitor¨

Confirm this in Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS.
I've an external monitor attached via HDMI. It sit on THE LEFT of my
main monitor (laptop).
I need to set my laptop monitor as primary monitor and I want the system
to know the external one is on the left.
If I use the Display application and drag my monitor
It definitely still is a bug, since changing the setting (albeit in a
hidden away config file) has no effect. That said, this bug still very
much exists and annoys me.

I can confirm the same problem exists with Xubuntu x64 16.04 as well.
However I can also confirm that this has been a problem with all Ubuntu
flavors for many years.
The difference now is that nothing can be done on the user side to fix
it. After all these years I'd become quite adept at editing
