***

See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two 4k monitors 
2. Log into wayland
3. Change the scaling to 175% or 200% or whatever works for you.
4. Log out and log back in

OBSERVED RESULT
Scaling goes back to 100% after logging out then logging back in and the monitors' order resets and the mouse does not move across the screens as it should

EXPECTED RESULT
Scaling saves to whatever I set it to, even after a log out/log in or a reboot

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: EndeavourOS
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have two 27" 4k monitors. A dell to my right and a sceptre to my left. I set the scaling to 175% on both. also I have the Dell as my primary that is sitting to my right and also I have it to the right in the settings, too. Eevery time I log out or reboot, that order resets. The dell moves to the left in the settings and the other monitor goes to the right. Scaling goes back to 100%. Also, the Sceptre becomes the primary. And this happens every signle time. I have even reinsalled the whole system thinking it would fix it, it didn't.

If you move aside (Don't delete!) your ~/.local/share/kscreen folder, re-create the layout on System Settings' Display & Monitor page, and then reboot, does the problem go away, or does it still happen?
