I have dual monitors and both were working fine. I have everything in place: graphic drivers, etc. But today, all things went crazy. I can't view the toolbar and can't even close windows. If I try to right-click from the first monitor, the changes will happen for the next one, like all the monitors mixed together, plus some crazy stuff, i tried to update/upgrade edit the display settings nothing worked at all it’s just getting worse.

Basic starting point is what OS/release you're using, and you gave no details. If you're using a LTS release you have multiple kernel stack choices & thus different options are available to you, but currently we have no details.

My OS is Kali GNU/Linux Rolling, version 2023.3. Kali Linux doesn't have LTS releases; it follows a rolling release model. Any advice you have for troubleshooting in this context would be greatly appreciated

Please refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic, Ubuntu and official *flavors* of Ubuntu (https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) are on-topic on this site. We are sorry, Kali-Linux is off-topic. You can use https://forums.kali.org/ but Kali-Linux is intended for experienced GNU/Linux users and users are expected to fix their own problems, and only when that fails to have them ask a question with a well-documented problem. (see the on-topic link for the alternate SE *Unix & Linux* site). https://www.kali.org/docs//introduction/should-i-use-kali-linux/

Your description is unclear, but what you describe really sounds like an issue I'm rather aware of, but you're very off-topic for this site. Don't forget what you're running (a *development* release of Debian with lower security standards as those are helpful in *pen-testing* which is the purpose of Kali Linux) and consider that.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
