SUMMARY I have two screens attached. Their relative position and their control bars are swapped after reboot. Happens every time. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have one monitor (A) connected to the DP port of the mainboard. 2. Add a second monitor (B) to the HDMI port. 3. Find B to be on the left side of A. 4. Open display settings and drag B to the right side of A. 5. Configure A to be the primary screen. 6. Apply and confirm to keep the settings. 7. Also have different control bars configured for each screen. 8. Restart the PC. 9. While A remains the primary screen: OBSERVED RESULT - Screen B is now on the left side of A. - Control bar from A is now on B and vice versa. EXPECTED RESULT - Find B to be on the right side of A. - Control bars are restored to the previous screens.

Does it happen on Wayland too, or just X11?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Does it happen on Wayland too, or just X11? I logged out to check that. And what happend? When the login screens came up they were already swapped. Then I tried Wayland, but that doesn't even run. The screen turns black for a few seconds and brings me back to login.

Ok, and if, on Wayland, you correct all of those things and then reboot, does the problem return?
Wayland keeps the correct settings. X11 doesn't. Wayland additionally mixes up the panels between screens. While using Wayland I moved them back. When afterwards I logged in using X11 they were mixed up again. So it looks like Wayland and X11 have something crossed here. Should I file an extra bug for that?
Monitor settings are stored differently on Wayland compare to on X11, for technical reasons. So unfortunately if you switch a lot between X11 and Wayland, you'll need to set things up the way you like them on both platforms separately. Let's focus on the issue that happens when you reboot from one session type into the same session type. You said that on Wayland, the screen positions are remembered correctly, but the panel positions are not? Is that accurate?
