Bug Description
I'm using 3 monitors with my NVidia card (TwinView). The way I see it, people that use more than one monitor usually have a *main* one, placed more directly in their field of view, and secondary displays might be placed elsewhere, near or far, including other areas out of the user's field of view.
In my case, all notifications pop-up in my third monitor (or whatever monitor I added last). It it's counterproductive. Notifications should pop-up in the main monitor.
If that is not something that can be coded as a default, an option to choose where notifications will pop-up could be added to g-c-c "Displays" setting.
Regards,
Effenberg
