I have always had issues with the displays plug not letting me adjust screens properly. I've noticed the following:

1. It's really hard to just get two or three monitors aligned perfectly so they're right next to each other. Things I've seen:
- After dragging it to the correct position, after I release the left mouse button the monitor just jumps to some arbitrary position far away from where I was dragging it to.
- In the video above, it's refusing to let me align it to the right pixel.
- Behavior is erratic at best.
- Sometimes even after I release my mouse, the display still keeps being dragged.

I'm on Juno, but this problem has been present since Freya.

Ultimately, I usually just resort to using `xrandr --output $B --right-of $A`, but this doesn't persist.
