Both my external monitor and the internal laptop display support 3840 x 2160 resolution.
As the internal display is only 15" I scale it to 200% to become effective resolution 1920 x 1080.
The external monitor is 27", so I want to keep it at 2560 x 1440 unscaled and arranged on top of the laptop display.
Whenever I plug-in the external monitor (either on the display port or on the HDMI) and click on the Mint menu - the menu panel is sized and positioned incorrectly end shows partially in the external monitor.
The only way I can keep it the same as without the external monitor is if I set both to 3840 x 2160 unscaled and set "User interface scale" to "Double (Hi-DPI).
How can I fix this?
