Description of problem: When running GNOME 42, I can no longer configure monitors using Win+P (Super+P, laptop multimedia key) shortcut. Even though I see 4 options called Mirror, Join Displays, External Only and Built-in Only, choosing any those always changes the layout to Mirror. Additionally, if you have a different resolution configured for your display (other than the native, highest one), it also resets your resolution to the native one. Overall, Win+P can't be used at all. This is a regression from GNOME 41, where Win+P worked correctly. Note: Configuring monitors directly in GNOME Settings -> Displays works correctly. It's only the Win+P shortcut which is broken. See the upstream issue for full description: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1748
Proposing as a prioritized bug. While I don't think this can be a release blocker, this is likely going to bite a lot of dual-monitor users. Especially on laptops, it is common to configure your displays using the multimedia key, e.g. to enable/disable the internal display when presenting, after docking, etc.
The issue is already fixed in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2245 . We just need it updated in Fedora, ideally before F36 Final. Removing PrioritizedBug nomination and instead proposing as a Freeze Exception. @Florian, could you please include this patch in Fedora?
Discussed during the 2022-04-11 blocker review meeting: [1] The decision to classify this bug as an AcceptedFreezeException was made: "It is a noticeable issue that cannot be fixed with an update."
