Description BugZilla@S-and-J.co.uk 2015-11-08 19:40:07 CET
Created attachment 6524 
Screenshot added merely for familiarisation.  I have already corrected the "Position:" setting.

My left-hand monitor is 1920x1080 landscape.
My right-hand monitor is 1280x1024 landscape.

If I use  xfce4-display-settings  to make the left-hand monitor to "Rotation: Left" so I can use it portrait, the setting for  "Position: Left of Monitor"  changes to "Position: Same as Monitor".

When I then change it back to  "Position: Left of Monitor"  all the applications that were on the right hand monitor are now on the left hand monitor and have to be moved back again.

I think there is a bug: when changing the rotation of one monitor, xfce4-display-settings should not change the relative positions of the monitors automatically.
