Bug Description
I often switch between working with a docking station, closed laptop and an external monitor, and an open laptop without docking station or monitor. I noticed since updating to 17.10 that GNOME Shell would not switch correctly from the setup where the laptop was being used open without a docking station to the other. When I opened the laptop in the docking station the external monitor would come on, and when I closed the laptop it went off again. I manually switched the primary screen to be the external one and that solved it for now, so I assume that GNOME Shell was disabling the external screen instead of the internal one (it is a bit hard to see, and I have not yet tried ssh-ing in).
