Window switcher showing two instances

Hey guys, 

I checked the box "Configure new displays when connected" because I want the choice prompt when connecting to my external display .

However, if I keep this window opened and don't close it, the second time I plug in my external display, it opens in a new instance instead of switching to the already opened one.

Any ideas how to address this?

Attaching relevant screenshots. 

Cheers!

The minimal display is supposed to be single instance since this commit:
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/commit/?id=786c0dc49dd10b092d1bf6d91223d8e148800146

Which version of xfce4-setting are you using?

Thanks Andre! ❤

Am I giving you the right information with the following command?

[orschiro@x230 ~]$ xfce4-settings-manager --version
xfce4-settings-manager 4.12.4 (Xfce 4.12)
Comment 4 Andre Miranda editbugs 2019-02-06 16:58:33 CET
Correct, but this feature is only available on 4.13+
Comment 5 Or Schiro 2019-02-07 11:15:10 CET
Ah nice! So it's going to arrive as soon as I upgrade my Fedora 28 I guess. Thanks guys! 🥳
