Description

I try to launch the Remotely_Desktop portable app on Ubuntu Linux 20.04 with KDE with two monitors connected, and connect to it via Firefox.

Connection is successful, but in browsers shown image from both displays, on "Monitors" button shows only one monitor "Monitor 0" instead of two.

Is this a Remotely issue, or problem in some system configuration settings?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the Remotely client retrieves monitor information on Linux. Look for code that enumerates displays, possibly using X11 or Wayland APIs. Check if the issue is related to missing handling of multiple monitors or incorrect merge logic.
