[Bug 2076495] [NEW] Display Configuration is not remembered with external monitor setup

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have an XPS-13 Laptop running Kubuntu with Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS under the hood connected via USB-C to an external DELL P2720DC monitor.
Additionally, i have an gaming PC connected via DP to the monitor.

Everytime i switch the input source at the external monitor to another
device and back to the Laptop, the Display Configuration is not restored
and i have to manually open the settings and re-enable the monitor, set
it as primary and re-arrange the screens correctly (there are always 1
pixel overlapping).

My expectation would be, that the display configuration for a certain
set of connected devices is remembered and restored upon switching the
input source at the monitor.
