Created attachment 1311902 [details] mate-display-properties Description of problem: In Mate, it does not seem possible to configure 3 displays to extend the desktop using the gui tool "mate-display-properties". At first, only two displays are shown, the third one is hidden behind them and appears when the right one is moved. However, it is not possible to move either one of the displays to the side in order to line them all up side by side and have a desktop spanning 3 displays. They can only be moved vertically, so the third one stays hidden behind the other two. Also, moving any one of them around leads to a strange display bug (since upgrading to Fedora 26), see screenshot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 26 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have more than 2 monitors. 2. Try to use them in Mate. 3. Give up. Actual results: Only one monitor is on by default and this particular gui tool does not seem to be able to position all of them next to each other. Expected results: Configuring multiple displays should not require an admin who needs to edit the config file manually because the gui does not work. There should be a simple gui that just works, ideally without having to move rectangles around as long as the user simply wants to use multiple monitors for a large desktop area. Additional info: When trying to move one of the displays to the edge of the window, it sometimes jumps all the way to the bottom, which seems even less useful.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '26'. 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 26 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.
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
