Description Sebastien Bacher 2009-04-06 07:52:45 UTC 
the bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/355901

"See the attached screencast. Essentially, the first time I select the "enabled" radio button after clicking on a disabled monitor, the monitors suddenly jump to a different configuration.

It's hard to figure out where it jumps: when I first noticed this, the internal notebook monitor was positioned *behind* the external one, making me thing gnome-display-properties "lost" it whatsoever; but when I do it now the internal monitor jumps below the external one.
