Someone wrote, not to me: "Then log out and in again to verify the bug
still occurs without extensions.".
However my ubuntu 20.10 is in default release state, I added *no*
extension to it (I disbled a few kbd shortcuts, added two kbd shortcuts,
so it is basically in release state).
And I have the same disturbing setting, that
DVI-0 connected primary 2560x1440+0+0 (in the reality this is my
main monitor)
DVI-1 connected 1680x1050+2560+504 (in the reality this is
located as secondary)
and almost everithing arrives to DVI-1, regardless how I started, from
wich termial,
Extremly disturbing, since I do not find any possibility to tell a
program, to wich monitor to arrive.
In addition to this, the terminal and the firefox arrives maximalised,
and the do not know their suggested default size what is larger, thatn
the size of the wrong target, ---
--- since I have 2 monitors, I have to adjust all the window sizes by
hand, as if it was a Windows.
Since 1995, all my programs are started with suggested locations and
sizes, what does not work any longer ...
OK, one thing works, because the main monitor is on the left side: if I
tell
gnome-terminal --geometry=+0+0
but the
gnome-terminal --geometry=-0+0
it will give a maximalised trash on the wrong monitor, and forgets the
default nom-maximalised size as well.
In addition to this, EACH maximalization and non-maximalisation cycle
SHRINKS the size of the gnome-erminal by one row and one column: 80 ...
79 ... 78 ...
This is an other bug, but I mention here because it might happen the
same problem: the window size and location subsystem has serious
problems ...

Ubuntu 20.04 gnome-shell places windows on second screen when started

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.
