Screenshot of monitor setup
SUMMARY
When attaching an external HDMI monitor (in fact via USB-C) the monitor is
often mis-recognized, so that its actual resolution is not read and the
resolution is set to 1024x768 even if the monitor is a 4k one.
Even worse than that, when this happens, the internal and the external screen
get auto-layed-out with a huge gap in between, so that it is not even possible
to pass the mouse cursor from one to the other.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attach external monitor
2. Configure it for the appropriate 4k resolution
3. Detach external monitor
4. Reattach it
OBSERVED RESULT
Occasionally the external monitor resolution gets set up in a wrong way
(1024x768) and a gap is created between the screens.
EXPECTED RESULT
The external monitor resoution should be set up correctly and, most important,
in the layout there should be no gaps.
