Display settings mislabel monitors

Open richardcoffeyflock opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug In the "Displays" section of the settings, Regolith incorrectly labels the screens when using a multi-monitor setup. Please view attached picture, where screens 1 and 2 are incorrectly labeled as each other. The actual configuration of the the screens in the organization drag-n-drop GUI is correct, it's the on screen labeling of the monitors that is incorrect. Please note that screen #3 in the screenshot is rotated at a 90 degree angle to "Portrait Right"

To Reproduce With 3 monitors, open the display settings page and hover over the organization drag-n-drop GUI. Each screen should have a numbered label pop up in the top left corner. These labels are incorrect often, and do not have a specific rhyme or reason.

Expected behavior The labels for the screens should be identical to the ones displayed in the GUI.

Screenshots Attached.

Configuration file(s) None.

@richardcoffeyflock yes I'm aware of this bug as well. I believe it's an upstream issue in gnome-flashback: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-flashback, although w/ upcoming Regolith 2 we'll be owning this UI w/ a fork called regolith-control-center. I'll leave this bug open to track a future fix in the 2.x release.
