I think that is actually a pecularity of xrandr - the last step at least. The initial problem is that the extended desktop is transformed into a constrained viewport of the original (which is a no-op, just disabling the unused outputs and updating the cursor bounds). You either want to reduce the framebuffer size (like xrandr did at the end), or specify that the eDP now wants to pan the entire desktop. The other issue here though is that although you have the eDP marked as primary, your DE doesn't seem to be using it for the status bar etc. (But each to their own tastes ;) The current do-noting approach works well if you immediately plug everything back in, the windows do not move and you find everything where you left it. However, often you do want to rearrange after unplugging. The right approach for us is, of course, to leave it to the user (or de on their behalf) to decide.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
