Bug Description
Summary
Gnome fails to support browser when using 3 monitors when JITSI screen share is invoked.
Windows 10 works fine on same computer
Details
Using Ubuntu 18.4.04 or 20.04 with Gnome & 3 monitors using either Chrome, Firefox or Chromium browsers when an attempt is made to share the screen mode selection flashes such that it is difficult to see, then the browser disappears (stops or crashes). The Ubuntu program appears to keep running sending a camera picture the JITSI server. If the browser is restarted and logged on to the JITSI server two instances of the camera picture appear.
If two monitors only are connected then the system works flawlessly
Computer:-
Asus Z87-C motherboard, CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570T CPU @ 2.90GHz(variable clock rate 800-3600MHz), memory 8GB 1333MHz DDR3

The motherboard video is being used. It is specified to handle 3 Monitors at 1920x1080 pixels
The computer runs Windows 10 or Ubuntu 20.04 It has a 2.5’hard disk front loading cassette. The programs are loaded on 250 and 120GB SSDs which can be interchanged easily

WM_CLASS(STRING) = "google-chrome", "Google-chrome"
alan@Z87CU20:~$ xprop WM_CLASS
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "apport-gtk", "Apport-gtk"
