	Bionic	Fix Released	Undecided	Unassigned

Bug Description

* Impact
In some cases after a configuration chang ethe "apply" button is not displayed

* Test case
On a multimonitor setup, go to settings -> display and change the monitors layout and zoom factor, following a change a "apply" button should be displayed

* Regression potential
The change is in the monitor configurations logic, just make sure that changing resolution/layouts work correctly and is restored are a logout/login cycle

----------------------

I have been debugging why I do not get "Apply" button in Displays view when my primary monitor is on the left of the external monitor, but it appears when it is on the right. I traced the problem down to this issue and patch:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/412
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/merge_requests/346

Reading this issue tracker I see that some issues people are reporting my be connected to this problem. I would suggest, if possible, that this patch is backported to Bionic and its version of gnome-control-center.

The issue is fixed in newer serie but indeed sounds worth backporting to BIonic

Sorry for the delay.

I have just now tested the package and can confirm that it works for me. I can resize/scale screens and move them around and I always get "apply" button I can use.
