STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I have a Dell XPS13 9370 laptop with debian12/Plasma/X11.
I connect the laptop to a Dell DS-1000 docking station which is connected to an external monitor.
The external screen is used as a secondary screen, which is right of the primary screen.
Sometimes, when connecting/unconnecting the laptop to the docking station, the external screen becomes superimposed to the primary screen.
I did not find a 100% reproducible case, sometimes it happens and sometimes not, but it happens quite often (say, 10% of the cases).


OBSERVED RESULT
The secondary screen becomes sometimes superimposed to the primary screen.

EXPECTED RESULT
The secondary screen should stay on the right of the primary screen.

Can you see if it still happens in Plasma 5.25? We did a lot of multimonitor robustness work thetre. Thanks!

Yes, I will but I need to wait for 5.25 to appear in Debian testing.
