Public bug reported:
I have a 22" inch external screen 1 above a laptop 15" screen 2. It works more
of less, except when I start a new program:
- the display is full with other windows, because then a new window is put on
the LEFT of display 1 or partly so that only the right part of the window is
displayed. This often happens with Nautilus, Terminal and others.
- with Evolution (full screen by default?) the windows is always put completely
at the left of display 1 and with ALT+F7, I have to drag the window to screen 1.
It looks that the system, while looking for the best spot to put the
windows, assumes that screen 2 is on the left, but it is at the bottom.
The added information should show the Evolution window at the left of
screen 1.
