[Bug 1310981] [NEW] Open system settings disables external monitor

 

Public bug reported:

I have an external display attached. When I open system settings in top
panel right button-> system settings ( or through other approach to
enter the sub settings directly like time applet-> Time&Date Settings) ,
the external monitor is disabled for no reason. And after that I click
the "Display" in system settings, the external monitor is enabled again.
This combined with other bug(1304531) that move maximized windows around
makes the open system settings process painful.
