Title:
Windows always open across monitors in a multi-monitor setup
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have a laptop (Dell XPS 13 9300) connected to an external USB-C monitor
(Dell U2719DC).
Ubuntu 21.10 Impish is installed, although this problem existed under Ubuntu
21.04 too.
If I log in using Wayland (the default), the initial window position
of any app is always in the middle (half on the internal display and
half on the external monitor). No setting that I have found appears to
be able to change this behavior.
If I switch to Xorg, this problem does not exist. With Xorg, the app window
always opens on the primary monitor (the external one, in my case). This is the
preferred behavior.
