SUMMARY
Screen Sharing dialog does not restore on future sessions if screen is mirrored.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up a screen share on Wayland in a program that supports restoring screen captures on future sessions, i.e. OBS Studio
2. Select a screen that is mirrored to another screen, make sure "Allow restoring on future sessions" is ticked, and select "Share"
3. Close the program and open it again

OBSERVED RESULT
The program prompts for what screen to share

EXPECTED RESULT
The program should not prompt you for what screen to share and capture the screen that was selected in the previous session.

Same issue, same steps to reproduce and observed/expected result.

Very annoying when using multiple window captures as it does not specify which prompt is for which capture. 
In my case I use OBS Studio, it's about 7 windows. Hope this gets resolved.
