I'm having similar issue here (fed 25 guest), and even worse :/, when
i set up the 2 displays as primary and secondary it starts by showing both
displays as secondary (2) but when i move the mouse towards the
menu both are becoming primary (1) , and it keeps jumping between 1<->2

I tried both x11 and wayland on the fedora 25 guest - same issue, but works
well with fedora 24 guest
