Bug Description

Recently I have bought a docking station for my laptop which has another monitor connected to it. I have configured the display to extend the screen across multiple monitors. Once that config is done, I was able to login to GUI and move program windows across the monitors. But when I try to start the Terminal program, I am not seeing any window for that program. The terminal icon appears on the dock. If I type something it is having effect as it I am typing on terminal. If I click on Multitasking View I can see Terminal window mentioned. But on the actual screen there is no Terminal Window shown.
All other programs work perfectly on their respective windows.

No only way for me to run some command is to got to Command line on F1 terminal.

I think something has broken on the Terminal window program if I use multiple monitors.

Thanks,
Vineeth

Look like I got a work around.... we need need to reconfigure the Display
settings for each monitor and Terminal window start appearing.
