Description
I'm on a multi-monitor setup, running the latest Nvidia drivers on my GTX 1070. Running any game in a virtual desktop results in it rendering as just black.
If I put the virtual desktop window on my left-most display however, it runs perfectly fine, and once I drag it back to a monitor that isn't left-most in the X-screen, it goes back to just rendering as black. I've seen a few other users on reddit with the same issue, currently its stopping me from playing games that rely on emulating a virtual desktop to have functional mouse input (Fallout 4, etc..).
Edit; Some additional details:
3 monitors arranged left-to-right
I7-7700k
GTX 1070 (Very latest proprietary drivers)
Lubuntu 17.10
Linux 4.13.0-46-lowlatency
issue is present on every proton version up to the latest beta.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. First reproduce the black rendering with three monitors, an Nvidia GTX 1070, a virtual desktop, and a game, comparing the left-most display with the others. Done would mean virtual desktops render correctly on every monitor.
