[Bug 1822230] Re: lubuntu 19.04 install dual screen; login user/password boxes on both displays allowing password entry

[Chris Guiver]

** Description changed:

  Lubuntu 19.04 (x86_64) QA-Test install
  
  dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd
  5000/6000/7350/8350)
  
  On first boot, i expected to see (on either display) a single login box
  for username/password. Instead I got a box on each display (as if
  mirrored) but noted the password was only appearing as dots on one
  screen.
  
  With experimentation, I can enter different passwords on each display -
  if I press <enter> whilst inside the valid-password box I get logged in,
  if I press <enter> on an invalid password screen (with valid password on
  the other screen) I get login failed correctly. As such I don't see how
  this could be mis-used, but it is a little confusing/distracting, but
  minor.
  
  After login, if I logout I get the same two user/boxes allowing
  different entry in each. At this time I have not rebooted; it's still
  initial boot (post-install)
  
  My displays are differently aligned to the default; but this occurred on
  reboot before any adjustments were made to displays (to match my having
  one tilted-left so portrait mode etc)

  ------
  The following (snippet) is from my QA-test comments
  ---
  (between steps 2 & 3 I had to use lxqt.prefs-monitor.settings to adjust my display to match portrait & my display organization for the little sanity i have left..)
  // maybe the display change caused this???  I forgot I did that...  I'll add comment on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1822230

  Could it be that the LXQt.Prefs -> Monitor.Settings change I made before install impacted this??
  Even if this change has caused issue, it shouldn't...
