Display with 2nd monitor - unable to modify Arrangement in settings

Reported by ch...@promotexter.com, Jan 9 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 10176.41.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.79 Safari/537.36
Platform: 10176.41.0 (Official Build) beta-channel cave

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Settings, Display
2. Change "Allow windows to span displays" to off (was changed by upgrade in error)
3. Try to "drag to move display" - fails to work

What is the expected behavior?
Should be able to move the 2nd monitor graphic to an alternate location relative to the "Internal Display"

What went wrong?
Draging does not work at all - either using the touch screen or the touchpad.

Did this work before? Yes previous version - not sure what it was. I am on Beta channel and the chromebook updated this morning.

Further comment - I have turned on the flags setting to allow quick swapping of windows between monitors. chrome://flags (search "ash-enable-display-move-window-accels").

This is by design and has been this way from the beginning.
Unified desktop is for specific use cases, and we have no plan to make this available by default.
To clarify, I did not previously have unified desktop set on, I was using extended desktop (to a 2nd monitor). During the s/w update the setting was changed (without any action by me) from extended to unified. When I changed it back to extended I experienced the issue of being unable to move the position of the monitor relative to the main screen.
Problem is not resolved - with display set to extended the ability to drag the monitor icon to arrange the relative position of the monitor to the main screen does not work.

Sorry we misunderstood that this was unified desktop. 
Unified desktop shouldn't be activated unless you enable it by flags, or enabled by policy, or enabled by an app.

Could you please file a feedback report? (shift-alt-i)

afakhry@, could you please take a look?
No worries - I've filed the feedback report as requested.

Tried to repro on ToT @ 65.0.3317.0 following the steps in #0, however everything is working fine. Is this a persistent issue?

+stevenjb@ and +weidongg@ for visibility and in case there were any recent changes that would affect dragging the display divs in the Display Settings UI.
This persisted through several reboots and with the 2nd screen being
unplugged and replugged multiple times.
Good morning all. This problem is resolved. I plugged in my monotor at the office today and tried again to move the arrangement and it worked. I am not aware of any changes that may have led to this - everything else is the same as before.

Thanks for reporting the issue. I'm closing this as WontFix. Please reopen if it shows up again.
