until the k/ubuntu team release the fix for this bug, anybody who also affected by this bug can follow this:

1 backup xorg.conf with :

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

2 open nvidia-settings again and choose 'show preview' copy and paste the text temporarily to kate.

3 now open xorg.conf with :

kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf

4 replace all text with the one you just get from step 2 and save.
