Unable to properly adjust display arrangement for portrait monitor next to landscape monitor

Question

I am trying to match my display setup to my physical setup. I am on Ubuntu 20.04LTS. My left monitor is in portrait mode, and my right one is in landscape mode.

Here is my current setup. This does not accurately reflect my physical setup, but it is the best i can do for now.

My physical setup looks like this. But when I apply these changes to my settings, my portrait monitor turns off, and then my main landscape monitor stretches out so that I can scroll around the desktop.

I have tried other arrangements within the display settings, and some of them create similar problems. In some cases, my monitors will stack upon themselves and both screens are visible.

Answer 1

Can confirm.

Lenovo P50 laptop with two external monitors (USB-C & HDMI), one in portrait mode.

Recently upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, which did not have this issue, to 20.04 LTS.

The "real estate" of the two landscape monitors bleeds into the right hand monitor and I'm able to "scroll" vertically (which I don't want). Maximizing windows will make the window display on two monitors partly.

Workaround: Change the monitor in portrait mode back to landscape mode. Not what I want but at least it gives me a working setup.

Setup left to right (with portrait mode):

1. Laptop monitor 1920x1080 (16:9) - landscape
2. Samsung 34" 3440x1440 (21:9) - landscape - USB-C
3. Acer 24" 1920x1080 (16:9) - portrait - HDMI

Driver recently installed with sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

driver   : nvidia-driver-440 - distro non-free recommended

Recently changed from nvidia-driver-435 which had the same problem.
