[nvidia] Issue after repositioning display/monitor location using display settings

[Steven Kenny]

After repositioning the display applications would only maximise to use the area of the screen that overlapped between the original and new positions, see attachment which is a screenshot of an application maximised on the affected display.

Please also run:

  gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.shell > settings.txt
  xrandr > xrandr.txt
  lspci -k > lspcik.txt
  journalctl -b0 > journal.txt

and then attach the four resulting text files.

As requested.

FYI, the three monitors I have are connected to both the laptop/dock and
a PC at the same time.  I change the input source on each monitor to
change between the laptop and PC.  This may not be relevant, but I
thought it would be worth mentioning.

Steven.

Thanks. xrandr.txt seems to show no overlapping area in the current configuration. So if it only happens when you change the layout does the bug persist between reboots?

And what if you delete the whole config (~/.config/monitors.xml) and recreate it? Does the problem go away?
