Do Nothing when monitor plugged in
In Display settings there is an option to do nothing when a display is connected, however Xfce automatically mirrors the displays when I connect a new one with said option selected.
Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong elsewhere?
Thank you.

Re: Do Nothing when monitor plugged in
Try switching it to show dialog. You should get a pop up when you connect then you can make your choice.
But it's all right, when you're all in pain and you feel the rain come down
It's alright, when you find your way, then you see it disappear
It's alright....

Thank you eriefisher.
Indeed that works as expected, however I was looking for an option to do nothing when a monitor is connected.
If that option is buggy should a bug report be submitted?

Ok then a bug report will probably be welcome, I don't think it exists yet: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/-/issues
