bug: Windows always open on the secondary display #299

Open arkonbob opened 10 months ago

arkonbob commented 10 months ago

Description

Windows always open on the secondary display

Problem Explanation

When new windows / applications are opened, they appear briefly where they should (the primary display) then shift immediately to the secondary display. This also often causes tabbed windows on the secondary display to break out of the tab container.

The bug happens when opening new applications / windows.

Expected Behavior

Reproduction

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Attach an external display to a laptop.
  2. In Gnome settings, configure the external display as the primary display.
  3. Click on an application in the dock. Observe that the new application window opens on the secondary (built-in) display.

I have the same issue on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and Ubuntu 23.10 as well (Gnome 45/Wayland).

JfrAziz commented 10 months ago

same issue on Arch Linux Gnome 45. some apps always open on the secondary display, like Terminal, but others apps seems fine.

alexwpe commented 10 months ago

It only seems to happen when you have your secondary display on the left. So a quick workaround for this problem is to place your secondary display virtually to the right of your main display in Gnome Preferences -> Screens.

trdsr commented 9 months ago

Same issue here on Debian 12 GNOME 43.

PixsaOJ commented 5 months ago

Manjaro / Gnome 45 / Wayland

Does not matter where screens are, It will always choose most left screen
