Ubuntu 18.04, two monitors. When one turns off, they don't "reset" to a single monitor. I can still move my mouse on to the turned-off monitor

Solution 1:

It depends upon which one is connected to DisplayPort and which one to HDMI.

  • Turning of the DP one will force the rearrangement of your windows.
  • Turning of the HDMI one will not.

This is a DisplayPort "feature".
