Public bug reported: Hi I have a laptop with an external LCD monitor attached.
I want to use the external as primary display. So I have extended the desktop with the external on the left (primary), and laptop screen on the right (extended). The problem is when some dialogs appear they appear in the extended area first and not the primary area. I then have to open the laptop cover drag them over, close laptop cover, rinse and repeat.
