Description of problem: On FC22, gnome-shell remembered my display settings when docking and undocking. That is, it would remember which monitor was set as primary, the resolution of each monitor, and the arrangement of the monitors. Now, the behavior when I re-dock is not consistent. Sometimes the resolution on my external monitor will change, sometimes the primary monitor will change (my external is set as Primary and my built-in as secondary), and sometimes the external will just not turn on automatically. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell.x86_64-3.18.1-1.fc23 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Undock laptop 2. Use it for a while (suspend, resume, open new windows, close old windows) 3. Re-dock laptop Actual results: After step 3. the display settings are not the same as before step 1. Expected results: After step 3. the display settings should be exactly the same as before step 1. Additional info: Lenovo ThinkPad T530 with ThinkPad Mini Dock Series 3. External monitor plugged in through VGA.

+1 except that it doesn't happen when docking/undocking but when my screen is dimmed (I have my power settings in Gnome Shell configured to dim the screen after some time). When I get back to it sometimes the primary monitor will change (my external is set as Primary and my built-in as secondary), and sometimes the external will just not turn on automatically. Lenovo ThinkPad T440s with external monitor plugged though HDMI. Not reproducible on F22.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
