- don't have 3 screens
- don't have support for 3 screens on my systems
- don't have nvidia hardware
I succesfully rolled back the X server update (xorg-server, xorg-utils, libxinerama, etc.) and also the nvidia driver back to 185.
The bug disappeared. I could try updating only the nvidia driver and see if the bug is in the driver or in xorg.
The bug is not present. So this is related to either xorg-server or the libxinerama update.
