Screen capturing the TV shows that it works fine

SUMMARY
My current monitor setup is: main monitor, second monitor and a TV which is a replica of the main monitor. The second monitor overview works fine, but the main monitor won't show anything if the TV wasn't on during that session.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install two monitors, duplicating each other
2. Open desktop grid (Meta+G)

OBSERVED RESULT
Desktop grid is empty

EXPECTED RESULT
Desktop grid shows opened windows
