This doesn't sound like a bug to me. If you manually place your only
connected display at a position that's not 0x0 then I would expect that
invisible space.

Title:
Disconnected monitors act as present
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I add a custom mode for my monitor using xrandr at boot. It looks like
this:
xrandr --newmode "2560x1440R" 241.50 2560 2608 2640 2720 1440 1443 1448
1481 +hsync -vsync
xrandr --addmode HDMI-1 "2560x1440R"
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode "2560x1440R"
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --pos 0x0
xrandr --output eDP-1 --pos 2560x360
Starting recently, since I installed Ubuntu 18.04.2 (was using .1
before), even though the monitor isn't connected, that "space" is
still there. I can move my mouse out of my laptop screen and it goes
over where the monitor would be and gets lost. And screenshots (Print
Screen) captures a large blank space as if the monitor were connected.
As I said, this just started happening recently but I don't remember
exactly what update caused it. All I know is before I installed
18.04.2, this didn't happen.
