Description Andreas Schildbach 2009-06-13 21:54:37 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Currently, you can drag monitors out of visible space quite easily, and they would never come back so you can't drag them any more.

To fix this, I'd propose to normalize (fit to view) the monitor layout after each drag'n'drop operation rather than just at application start.

Does this happen every time?

This is probably just a question of calling gnome_rr_config_sanitize() when the button is released.
