Description Andrew Crouthamel 2018-02-08 19:42:16 UTC 
The Pager widget for showing virtual desktops expands in size upon plugging in an external monitor. In this example, it was a 1080p monitor plugged into a laptop running 4k, if that matters.

This is expected and correct behavior. The pager's base aspect ratio is the bounding box of all monitors. Otherwise it can't show their content.

(Note: there's a "Only the current screen" checkbox in the settings, too.)
