The settings are saved in ~/.config/monitors.xml when setting up and saving the configuration in gnome-control-center, but they are not applied when switching with Super+P or when switching modes in gnome- control-center, the settings don't persist. Another way to see the bug is to save a mode configuration in gnome- control-center then switch to the same mode using Super+P by pressing Super+P many times without selecting a different mode, the settings will be lost. See the attached screencast. Steps to reproduce: 0. Attach an external monitor to the laptop 1. Change the fractional scaling of the external monitor to 150% and change the positioning of the built-in monitor to the desired positioning 2. Switch to the single-display mode using the keyboard or in gnome- control-center 3. The fractional scaling of the external monitor changes to 100% → (this could be the intended behaviour and not a bug) 4. Change again the fractional scaling of the external monitor to 150% 5. Switch to the extended-display mode using the keyboard or in gnome- control-center 6. The fractional scaling of the external monitor changes to 100% → (this is a bug, it should persist from step 1 or 4) 7. The positioning of the built-in monitor changes to the default → (this is a bug, it should persist from step 1) What happened: Multi-monitor settings are lost when switching between single- and extended-display modes. What I expect to happen: Multi-monitor settings should persist.
