Bug ID: 461199
Summary: Got a funny one: Identify monitors feature is
unhelpful when all monitors are of an identical brand
and model!
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.25.5
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

This did not help identify anything lol
SUMMARY
Right now the Identify button in the Display Configuration settings UI is not
very helpful in a situation where a user has monitors that are of identical
brand and model.
Because the Identify button will display a text box across all monitors
displaying the device ID of each monitor...
... which means, when all the monitors are of identical make and model, all
monitors will display the same text.
Which doesn't help the user much in identifying which monitor in the dropdown
list/layout window is which. :D
I attached an image of an example, my own three monitor setup, where I have
three monitors all of identical make and model and the text that displays on
each screen.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 2 or more monitors of identical make and model.
2. Click Identify in the Display Configuration UI
OBSERVED RESULT
On my three monitor setup? Three labels with identical text on each monitor!
EXPECTED RESULT
Numbers would be nice.
