Description Nicholas 2016-02-17 22:24:48 UTC 
Can't extend desktop onto secondary screen on VMWare (Plasma 5)
========
Given I am running Kubuntu inside VMWare fusion
 When I connect a second physical screen
   And I see VMware fullscreen the guest OS onto the screen
  Then I should be able to extend my desktop onto the second screen in system settings

(Sorry if this bug is filed into the wrong place)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Kubuntu 15.10 inside VMWare Fusion (I have OSX as a host)
2. Plug in a second screen
3. Goto system settings > Display Configuration

Actual Results:  
Observe you can't extend the screen, second screen doesn't appear to be detected

Expected Results:  
I should be able to extend my screen

This works with Plasma 4, on the same host OS, with the same install of VMWare fusion

I'm sorry but I no longer have access to the VMWare installation to advise on this bug anymore

Sorry, we'll have to close it.
