Bug Description

Displays were correct under 19.10, upgraded to 20.04.
I have 2 monitors. Mon1: Right, Portrait is 1920x1080. Mon2: Left, Landscape is 3840x2160. The display to Mon2 overlaps Mon1 display by approx 90%. Moving cursor to far right causes display 2 on Mon2 to slide left. Moving cursor to far left causes display 2 to slide right over the top of display 1. Both displays in settings are correct.
The problem appears as if the window for display 2 is a port on a screen approx 5000x2160.
