Bug Description

On a laptop with a built-in display (Internal GPU) and external monitor (discrete GPU). I use the proprietary NVIDIA driver in Performance mode.

If in Settings->Displays I select the external monitor to be the primary one and I want the dock to appear on the primary display (the external monitor) in Settings->Appearance Show on displays "Build-in display" (which is reversed). In that scenario the test should be the name of the external monitor (Dell).
If I select it (Dell) the dock is moved the the real built-in display.

If the built-in display is the primary display - everything is fine.
