Display options stuck on only one screen icon

[Dražen Lučanin]

When editing display settings for multiple monitors, the selection is stuck on only one monitor. I usually have to go back to the settings categories and re-enter display settings to select another screen icon.

Expected behaviour - freely select screens.

Thank you for your bug report, what do you mean "stuck on only one monitor"? what do you try to do and how exactly?

NP. So, I have an external monitor attached and I want to edit some
settings (e.g. change the resolutions). When I enter the displays options
in the control center I can click on one of the screen icons and edit this
screen's settings normally. If I then want to select the other screen to
edit its settings, however, I am unable to do so. Clicking on the other
screen's icon doesn't do anything.

Instead, I must go back to the main view of the control center and re-enter
the displays settings to be able to select the other screen. Once again, I
can't switch to the other screen's settings and the cycle continues.
