Laptop monitor does not regain control as primary when external, primary monitor is disconnected

User has two-monitor setup: laptop screen and external monitor, with the external set as the primary. When this monitor is disconnected, the laptop screen does not regain control as the primary (with the menu bar, etc.)

Hey wolf,

I think it'd be better if you would redirect people to report the issues themselves, as that makes it easier to ask for more information and help in debugging.

(I usually do, but I had a similar issue myself with system detection and respect of primary monitor settings: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pantheon-greeter/+bug/1628711)

Any hope to fix this?

I was evaluating elementaryOS and this is the only thing stopping me (I do not want to change my ergonomics/work set up).

Would some sponsoring help in any way?
