Monitor Display's switches arrangement

senavis opened this issue 9 years ago · comments

Hi,

Disabling and enabling the monitor in a dual monitor setup, it works fine. The issue is that after enabling the monitor, the display arrangements switch places. so right monitor becomes left display and left becomes right display.

To be specific: My setup was OS X 10.10.3.
Main display input goes to right monitor, secondary display input goes to left monitor.
Now I setup my left monitor as (1) and right monitor (2) in OSX. So to picturize ==> | (1) | (2) | <==

Problem happens only when I disable (2) and re-enable it. The display arrangement becomes | (2) | (1) |

Can you please check this out?

Note: if I disable (1) and re-enable, my setup remains the same.

More info: I found that disabling/enabling any monitor from (1)'s menu bar in my environment creates this issue.
Also disabling/enabling monitor (2) works OK when I do it from my (2)'s menu bar.

HTH!

+1 I am also having this issue. The issue only seems to occur when I disable and re-enable my primary monitor.

Also having this issue. I have three monitors, the middle one is also connected to a PC. I disable it, and re-enable it and it's suddenly the far right monitor in the display settings.

(also it never actually disables! but that's another issue)

Me too. My old monitor, when swapping signals it would disable the mac one (nice) but the new one doesn't so I am using this app to disable it manually when I change the signal. The only problem is that then I have to re-rearrange monitors.
