Dell Inspiron 3521 helloSystem 0.8.0 (Build 0H284)

I have a script in autostart that runs xrandr to connect to an external monitor:

#!/bin/sh 
xrandr --output LVDS-1 --off --output VGA-1 --off --output HDMI-1 --primary --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x0 --rotate normal --output DP-1 --off

The problem is that the top menu bar retains the original width from my laptop 1366 rather than display at the width of 1920. Everything else seems aware of the change. It seems like the menu is not picking up the events from xrandr?

I see issue#36, you state “Actually this is the correct behavior - Menu should be displayed on the main screen”, but I’ve disabled the laptop screen:
