Enabling virtualbox guest addition breaks multi-monitor setup #34660

Open rvolosatovs opened 6 years ago

rvolosatovs commented 6 years ago

Issue description

Setting virtualisation.virtualbox.guest.enable to true breaks dual-monitor setup for me. The output is "duplicated". Every X window is shown on 2 monitors at the same time. Panel is stretched across them.

Steps to reproduce

Set virtualisation.virtualbox.guest.enable to true and attach 2 monitors.
