Component: Window Management System / Display Settings
Hardware: LG 38" Ultrawide Monitor (3840x1600)
OS Version: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS NVDIA
Description:
Multiple critical issues are preventing basic window management functionality and proper display configuration with an LG 38" ultrawide monitor, severely impacting system usability.
Issues:

Incorrect Resolution Detection & Persistence:

System incorrectly defaults to 3840x2160 instead of the monitor's native 3840x1600 resolution
Display settings are not preserved after system power cycle
User must manually reconfigure display settings after each boot

Window Management System Failure:

Unable to resize windows through standard drag operations
Window snapping functionality non-functional
Cannot position windows on specific screen regions
Drag and drop window placement completely non-functional

Steps to Reproduce:

Connect LG 38" monitor (3840x1600)
Boot system
Observe incorrect resolution (3840x2160)
Attempt to:

Drag window edges to resize
Snap windows to screen edges
Position windows freely on screen

Power cycle system
Observe display settings reset

Expected Behavior:

System should detect and maintain correct native resolution (3840x1600)
Display settings should persist through power cycles
Users should be able to:

Freely resize windows
Snap windows to screen regions
Position windows anywhere on screen through drag and drop

Current Behavior:

System forces incorrect 3840x2160 resolution
Settings reset after power cycle
All window management functions non-operational
Basic desktop workspace functionality severely compromised

Impact:
System is nearly unusable for productive work due to:

Constant manual resolution adjustment required
Inability to organize workspace through window positioning
Loss of basic window management functionality

Additional Notes:
This appears to be a fundamental breakdown in both display configuration persistence and window management subsystems, suggesting possible conflicts between Pop!_OS's window management system and ultrawide monitor handling.
