[Bug 1800963] [NEW] Changing Primary DIsplay Flips Which Display Has The Dock

[jimlovell777]

Public bug reported:

On a fresh install from at least Ubuntu 17.04 up to 18.10, when I change
Settings->Dock->Show on to a specific monitor on a dual monitor setup,
this setting gets flipped if I change the primary display in
Settings->Devices->Displays->Primary Display.

For Example I have Monitor A and Monitor B
After a fresh install Monitor A is primary with title bar, clock, etc. and the dock. If I change the dock to Show on Monitor B it moves as desired. But when I change Primary Display to Monitor B also, the dock immediately goes to Monitor A again. When I check the Show on setting it still displays Monitor B but it's actually on Monitor A. Selecting Monitor A will move the dock to Monitor B.
