Only real bug that annoys me in Catalina is the OS switching around the external screens when I dock my MacBook. I have 2 monitors connected, and almost every morning, after docking, I have to go into System Preferences and drag them around. Very annoying, but it's a bug that's been there for years.
- tbrock 7y agoYou are probably swapping which cord goes in which port. This world flawlessly for me.
- Rebelgecko 7y agoI have the same problem as OP and I only use one USB port for my two monitors
- tbrock 7y agoMaybe daisy chaining is the problem then? It has something to do with the order the devices are enumerated.

- matheist 7y agoI also have 2 monitors and I used to have this problem too! I also use spaces, and all the spaces would be switched over, so I'd have to do a lot of switching. Here's what works for me, if I dock my laptop and find that the screens are reversed: 1. Unplug monitor A, wait for screens to stabilize. 2. Unplug monitor B, wait for screens to stablilize. 3. Plug in monitor A, wait for screens to stabilize. 4. Plug in monitor B, wait for screens to stabilize. And that fixes it every time. My "default" monitor is set to be my laptop's monitor. Try reversing the roles of A and B if it doesn't work. If you use spaces as well — I also find it helps to have an empty space as the first space for each monitor.
