I have definitely observed bug 1716160 as well, even after correcting the GNOME settings (though it happens less often then). However this does not match either of the two. I still do not have a good feeling for exactly when it happens, so if you do not mind I will just update the bug next time it triggers with an unstructured chronology of what happened before.
It might be related to bug 1723025, but I can't say for sure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722725 Title: GNOME Shell disabling wrong screen when docking laptop Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I often switch between working with a docking station, closed laptop and an external monitor, and an open laptop without docking station or monitor. I noticed since updating to 17.10 that GNOME Shell would not switch correctly from the setup where the laptop was being used open without a docking station to the other. When I opened the laptop in the docking station the external monitor would come on, and when I closed the laptop it went off again. I manually switched the primary screen to be the external one and that solved it for now, so I assume that GNOME Shell was disabling the external screen instead of the internal one (it is a bit hard to see, and I have not yet tried ssh- ing in).
