SUMMARY
I have a 1920x1080 secondary monitor which I use for office tasks etc. sometimes I switch that monitor with a 1360x768 TV to watch movies. Sometimes after switching the monitors end up overlapping or with space between.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use plasma wayland
2. Plug in secondary monitor 
3. Switch that cable with another monitor with a different resolution

OBSERVED RESULT
The monitors overlap or are spaced apart

EXPECTED RESULT
The monitors are positioned correctly

maybe it has something to do with switching from x11 to wayland because I switch between them sometimes
