And before anyone starts anything about freeloading. I donate several thousand euros per year and a lot of my time to open source projects.
So, let's not go there. Once again thank you. I hope that it's much clearer now what is not working as expected in Ubuntu 20.04's iteration of Gnome Desktop. -- 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/1888098 Title: Ubuntu 20.04 gnome-shell places windows on second screen when started from primary screen Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS gnome-shell: Geïnstalleerd: 3.36.3-1ubuntu1~20.04.2 What I expected to happen: When clicking a button on the primary screen to open a new window in any application, that window should always open on the same monitor. What happened instead: Gnome-shell in Ubuntu 20.04 insists on placing new windows on the secondary monitor. Why this is a problem: My setup are Point of Sale terminals and the primary (a touchscreen) and secondary monitors are back to back. When the cashier presses the payment type button, the payment type pop-up is opening on the secondary screen which is displayed to the customer and not accessible to the cashier who needs to complete the transaction. The cashier can't move the pop-up on their own as there is no keyboard access (all buttons needed are in the application it self), and the touchscreen touches on itself (most of the time). In the past I was able to fix this with devilspie. As this problem has been around since Ubuntu 10.04. Was fine in Unity and 16.04/18.04 gnome-shell. But now devilspie is ignored by gnome-shell in 20.04 and gnome-shell keeps opening all the windows on the secondary screen. I've tried various gnome extensions and gnome-tweaks but none of them will open all windows (except the customer display) on the primary monitor only.
