** Description changed: + Bug summary: + + I set up and save the two configurations separately in gnome-control- + center for single- and extended-display modes, but they are not applied + when switching modes with Super+P (or with the dedicated key) or when + switching modes in gnome-control-center, the settings don't persist. + + The settings are saved in ~/.config/monitors.xml when setting up and + saving the configuration in gnome-control-center, but they are not + applied when switching with Super+P or when switching modes in gnome- + control-center, the settings don't persist. + + Another way to see the bug is to save a mode configuration in gnome- + control-center then switch to the same mode using Super+P by pressing + Super+P many times without selecting a different mode, the settings will + be lost. See the attached screencast. + + Steps to reproduce: 0. Attach an external monitor to the laptop - 1. Set the external monitor as the primary monitor - - 2. Change the fractional scaling of the external monitor to 150% and + 1. Change the fractional scaling of the external monitor to 150% and change the positioning of the built-in monitor to the desired positioning - 3. Switch to the single-display mode using the keyboard + 2. Switch to the single-display mode using the keyboard or in gnome- + control-center - → 4. The fractional scaling of the external monitor changes to 100% + 3. The fractional scaling of the external monitor changes to 100% → (this could be the intended behaviour and not a bug) - 5. Change again the fractional scaling of the external monitor to 150% + 4. Change again the fractional scaling of the external monitor to 150% - 6. Switch to the extended-display mode using the keyboard + 5. Switch to the extended-display mode using the keyboard or in gnome- + control-center - → 7. The fractional scaling of the external monitor changes to 100% - (this is a bug, it should persist) + 6. The fractional scaling of the external monitor changes to 100% → + (this is a bug, it should persist from step 1 or 4) - → 8. The positioning of the built-in monitor changes to the default - (this is a bug, it should persist) + 7. The positioning of the built-in monitor changes to the default → + (this is a bug, it should persist from step 1) + + + What happened: + + Multi-monitor settings are lost when switching between single- and + extended-display modes. + + What I expect to happen: + + Multi-monitor settings should persist. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: mutter 3.36.6-1ubuntu0.20.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.4.0-54.60-generic 5.4.65 Uname: Linux 5.4.0-54-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.12 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Nov 20 20:04:26 2020 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-04-26 (208 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20200423) ProcEnviron: - TERM=xterm-256color - PATH=(custom, no user) - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> - LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + TERM=xterm-256color + PATH=(custom, no user) + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> + LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: mutter UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
