Bug Description

Running wayland, gnome-shell, 17.10, up-to-date.

I have two monitors plugged into my computer, a couple days ago, everything was fine. Now, after a couple of crashes, and package upgrades, I can no longer re-arrange my monitors on the control center interface. When I mouse over a monitor, the cursor changes into a grabby-hand, but when I click and drag, the monitors just stay where they are. No movement at all.

Things I've tried so far --

- removing .config/monitors.xml and rebooting
- disabling & re-enabling monitors

I'm happy to do some debugging on this, but my searches and troubleshooting so far is coming up empty.
