display profile not returning

I made a display profile over a year or two ago for my monitors to be arranged sort of like ⊥, and saved that profile, which at the time worked when they turn off and I move the mouse, to restore that arrangement.  Now when they turn off and I move the mouse, they're not only all messed up (overlaid in arrangement no one would use) but I can't even move them: I just have to disable smaller ones, then rearrange, then enable, and though profile is listed, only works on start, never after monitors turn off and I move the mouse.  On whatever XFCE Slackware-current (64-bit) uses this has been happening weeks.

Re: display profile not returning

I have the Samsung one above the ASUS ('Ancor') but when I turn it off in settings, it moves it between that and the Wacom without instruction/permission.  I turn them off to prevent the above then end up having to rearrange them anyway.

Do people still use this forum?

Re: display profile not returning

There have been a lot of changes in this area recently, so this may be fixed in version 4.19.2 (dev version).

Thanks for clearing that up... so for now I guess I just wait.

Re: display profile not returning

Now when they turn off they end up rearranged differently the wrong way, with the main one requiring opening settings in another monitor to turn it back on... still no profile saved and actually applied.
