Bug Description
The Ubuntu 20.10 version of g-c-c lacks the dropdown controls for changing screen resolution or selecting the primary monitor. Where there is normally a dropdown, there is just a label showing the current screen resolution or primary monitor. In some cases the dropdown is there, eg it might be there for the laptop monitor but not the external monitor(s). Changing the resolution of a monitor using xrandr sometimes makes the dropdown appear in g-c-c.
I have attached a screenshot showing the issue.

Perhaps of interest: if I set the primary monitor to the external monitor via xrandr and then run g-c-c, g-c-c shows a dropdown that allows me to select the laptop monitor as primary. Then if I close g-c-c and re-run it, the dropdown doesn't appear any more.
