Public bug reported: The first time a secondary display/projector is connected to my laptop, it is detected and works in mirrored mode. However, once I open System Settings > Displays, the seconday display gets disabled. Loging out and rebooting doesn't solve the problem. At least not right away. A few reboots later secondary display starts working again. Occasioally I'm able to use Fn+F4 to switch between different modes (mirrored, extended), but it usually doesn't last long. As soon as System Settings is activated, the secondary display is disable and no longer detected.
Additional clues: 1) If I leave a display plugged in and reboot, it is activated on login screen, but shuts off as soon as I login. Pressing 'Detect Displays' button is Displays settings does not bring it back. 2) Every time I open System Settings (even without external displayed plugged in) there is a short lag and even the moust stops moving for about a second.
