When disabling a secondary display and re-enabling it again, its position is reset back to being centred with the primary display as soon as the "Enabled" checkbox in the display KCM is clicked. The position of a secondary display should not be reset when disabling/re-enabling it.

I can confirm the same behavior reported here in version 5.13.3 on Arch Linux. I have mentioned in another bug report that I would like to be able to use arandr (or xrandr) to management my screen layouts instead of kscreen, but kscreen cannot be easily removed due to powerdevil depending on it. Either giving kscreen the functionality offered by arandr, or allowing kscreen to be disabled without being uninstalled would be useful changes.
