Description Jens Darmetzki 2024-08-02 17:04:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
When using 
xfreerdp /multimon /monitors:0,1
on a triple monitor system, only one monitor is used where 2 should be. There is a short flicker on the other selected monitor, but nothing more.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Plasma-6 with Wayland (nvidia)
2. xfreerdp +monitor-list
     * [0] 3840x2160   +3840+0
        [1] 3840x2160   +7680+0
        [2] 3840x2160   +0+0
3.     xfreerdp /v:192.168.2.140 /u:roger /p:rabbit /monitors:0,1 /multimon /log-level:DEBUG


OBSERVED RESULT
There is a short flicker on one monitor and after that xfreerdp only uses the other screen

EXPECTED RESULT
 xfreerdp should use both selected monitors
