With multiple monitors, live sessions and the installer should use clone mode, not spanning.

Bug Description
The installation system comes up expecting 2 displays and the window decorations are in the non visible screen as is the control panel for performing the install. By bringing the cursor to the active screen (it starts out far left off screen), I can start a terminal from the menu and then start gnome-control-
I've seen this reported as a freeze, but it's not and just an issue with the display. Perhaps because it fails to detect the proper monitor (mine is an ASUS VS22). I also have an LG monitor, but this has a different problem by returning bad config info (the screen size is reported incorrectly)
This occurred when installing the current 18.04 desktop distribution and behaves the same for EFI or BIOS boot.

You do indeed seem to have 2 monitors plugged in.
If the LG is known to be faulty then please unplug it, and this is not a bug.
If the LG is expected to work, then this is a bug.
Do you find any difference/ improvement in logging into "Ubuntu" (Xorg) vs "Ubuntu on Wayland"?
