Description

With dual monitors, I have the following problem:

The displays are switched between the two monitors, with respect to the mouse pointer's address. To reproduce:

• Move the cursor to the left monitor and right-click on the desktop.

• The pop-up menu appears on the right monitor, in the same position where the mouse pointer appears to be located on the left.

Same behavior for any click, right- or left-, on any window/toolbar/etc that I have tried. That makes the GUI unusable.

Setup is FC24, Kernels 4.10.8 and 4.10.9, with nouveau graphics drivers and an NVIDIA Quadro K620 card. Monitors are configured side-by-side with no rotation. The only thing that is slightly different from standard is that the right monitor is my primary.

This does not happen with Kernel 4.9.13, nor does it happen in Gnome Classic or KDE. I use GDM as a login manager and everything works fine there, too, with any kernel.

Version: 4.12.0
