--- Comment #1 from Simon Steinbeiss <ochosi at xfce.org> ---
For now this is intentional:
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-panel/tree/panel/panel-window.c#n2189

If you want your panels to "move around" with you, you have multiple options.

1. Use the "Automatic" option. Upside: this means your panel will show on the
connected displays, even if one is missing. Downside: when you're back at your
own setup the panel won't magically move itself to its old position again.
2. Use xfce4-panel-profiles to save your panel layout and restore it when
you're home.
3. Use the "primary display" feature and just set your right display as
primary. Then you have no downsides!

For now those are the only options you have and to be honest I'm not sure I
wanna get into changing this behavior (to some extent it was a mistake to even
offer specific displays...) as it would imply a similar kind of work as I did
for multi display layouts and remembering them (which was a long and painful
road).
