Confusing issue with 2nd monitor setup.

Hey Mr Murphy. I followed your YT video 'How to Set Up Dual Monitors with BSPWM + Polybar'. You've gotten me closer to the desired set up, thanks for that 👍

I also finally got FiraCode displaying as it should 👍


When HDMI1 is not connected, on eDP1 it works as expected. Pressing mod+1 goes to 1 as intended. 2=2 3=3 4=4 screenshot

But I'm having this strange issue.

When HDMI1 is connected, pressing mod+1 no longer goes to 1 as intended, it jumps to #5 on HDMI1. 2=6 3=7 4=8 So weird! screenshot

I set this up the same as yours.

bspc monitor eDP1 -d 1 2 3 4
bspc monitor HDMI1 -d 5 6 7 8

Could you take a look at my configs when you have the time? I did follow through with autorandr as you showed, but the issue still persisted, so I decided to start over.

.config/bspwm/bspwmrc

.config/polybar/config.ini

.config/polybar/launch.sh

Appreciate any insight you can share.
