Description
### What Happened?
I upgraded from Elementary 5.1 to 6.1.
My laptop's main display is running at 3200×1800 resolution with HiDPI×2. I regularly plug an external 4K monitor, which is autoconfigured just as expected (position, resolution, and HiDPI).
I put my laptop to sleep multiple times a day, by closing the lid and turning off the external monitor. Coming back later from sleep, by opening the lid and turning the external monitor on, leads to a complete reconfiguration of the displays with nonsensical values after I login:
- Both monitors are reduced to HiDPI×1;
- The main monitor displays some kind of picture in picture (the whole screen is displayed on the monitor _and_ duplicated to the top-left quarter of the monitor)
- The top-menu and dock are moved to the external monitor.
I must reach for the settings, manually modify everything (move screens around, select the main monitor, select the HiDPI) every time _multiple_ times a day.
### Steps to Reproduce
Go to sleep with external monitor connected and turn it off. Turn the computer back on and log in. Screens are a mess.
### Expected Behavior
The last known display configuration is maintained or reapplied.
This used to be working flawlessly in Elementary 5. I never had to access the display settings.
### OS Version
6.x (Odin)
### Software Version
Latest release (I have run all updates)
### Log Output
_No response_
### Hardware Info
Dell XPS 15 9530 (Haswell, integrated HD Graphics 4600) with and external 4K Dell monitor.
