Thank you for your bug report, looking at the screens configuration it looks like you have 2 outputs configured on top of each others. Could you go to system settings -> displays and check if that's the case and maybe move/turn off one of those and see if that fixes the issue?

[Deryck Schnee (deryckschnee)]

Sebastien,

Thank you. Your suggestion fixed the issue. It may be marked as solved.

The displays were stacked on top of one another as well in the settings GUI, hence the reason I didn't catch the issue in the first place.

Not sure this would be considered a bug, maybe just a quirk of the GUI interface.

Regards,
