 > **Critical:** If you use XWayland applications, **never use negative coordinates** for your monitor positions. This is a known XWayland bug that causes click events to malfunction. Always arrange your monitors starting from `0,0` and extend into positive coordinates.
 
+> **Note:** that "name" is a regular expression. If you want an exact match, you need to add `^` and `$` to the beginning and end of the expression, for example, `^eDP-1$` matches exactly the string `eDP-1`.
