Title:
login screen is not initially on the monitor that contains the mouse
cursor
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have a dual-monitor setup (an external LED display connected to my
laptop), and I use exclusively the external display while working at
home (the laptop monitor is turned off).
laptop monitor: 13.1", 1280×800
external monitor: 23", 1920×1080
When I boot my laptop with the external display connected and switched
on, lightdm recognizes both monitors and displays the login screen on
the primary monitor (the laptop’s) and the ubuntu logo centered on the
secondary display (the external one).
However the mouse cursor is initially positioned on the external
monitor (I think it is horizontally centered on the virtual screen
made up of the two monitors, i.e. (1280+1920) ÷ 2 = 1600), so I would
expect the login screen to be displayed on the same monitor as the
mouse cursor. Note that as soon as I move the mouse cursor from its
original position, the login screen follows it, so the problem is
visible only initially, and it fixes itself whenever I interact with
the mouse.
I would expect either of the following two things to happen to fix this
glitch:
- have the mouse cursor initially centered on the primary monitor, where the
login screen is
- have the login screen initially positioned on the monitor that contains
the mouse cursor
