Description

Dupe Check
Describe the bug

This bug occurs when the warp terminal is running on additional screen. The second monitor screen freezes and unless i remove and reconnect the monitor, the second screen is frozen. This bug occurred on all the monitors i connected my laptop to.

Monitors tested: Dell, Benq
Laptop: Razor Blade 15

To reproduce

Its stochastic and needs more analysis when the bug occurs. WIll definitely occur when using second monitor with laptop.

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this a Warp specific issue? (i.e. does it happen in Terminal, iTerm, Kitty, etc.)

Yes, this I confirmed this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze on Linux 22.04 with Warp running a process on a laptop connected to a second monitor, including the listed Dell and Benq setups if available. Record the conditions that trigger the stochastic failure; done means the external display remains usable without disconnecting and reconnecting the monitor.
