| Summary | 0006982: re-orienting second display does not update display positions, leaving mouse stranded on first display | ||||
| Description | I rotated an external monitor in display settings, and after pushing 'apply' my two screens were separated, with no straightforward way to move the mouse between them. it is possible to get around this bug by pressing alt + space, then M, to teleport the mouse to the settings window, and from there dragging the first screen over to the other in the display menu. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | connect 2 monitors to your computer running latest kali image, rotate the leftmost one 'left' in settings manager > display. | ||||
| Additional Information | my monitors are setup (from left to right) "HP 24in 1920x1080, connected to HDMI to displayport adapter, rotated sideways, screen 2", "hyundai Kanabo built in laptop screen, 1920x1080, screen 1" uname -a output: Linux kali 5.9.0-kali1-amd64 0000001 SMP Debian 5.9.1-1kali2 (2020-10-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux | ||||

The displays need to be touching to work, if there's space left that configuration isn't valid |
 |
yes, and it is possible to make it a valid configuration by dragging the display over. I thought it was a bug that this wasn't done automatically, but if it's not a real issue I'd be happy to remove it |

|
Yes, it's not an issue |
