It seems that the only option that works as expected is the Mirror option. If I use Join as I am already on Join, then I lose my settings.
I have to use gnome-control-center to reconfigure my settings. So this system works but this does not allow me to alter projector mode (super + p), I just have to disable a monitor (this is what I am currently doing). If I disable a monitor then re-enable it later, I also have to redo my settings (this one may be expected though). My journalctl when using Mirror (which "works"): -- Logs begin at Fri 2018-06-22 14:57:18 EDT, end at Wed 2019-04-17 23:34:23 EDT. -- Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0x24, date = 2018-01-21 Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: Linux version 4.15.0-23-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-055) (gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-16ubuntu3)) #25-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 23 18:02:16 UTC 2018 (Ubuntu 4.15.0-23.25-generic 4.15.18) Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-23-generic root=UUID=cc5d2207-1cfa-40c1-8401-26624ac706a4 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=1 Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: KERNEL supported cpus: Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: Intel GenuineIntel Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: AMD AuthenticAMD Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: Centaur CentaurHauls Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: x86/fpu: Supporting XSAVE feature 0x001: 'x87 floating point registers' Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: x86/fpu: Supporting XSAVE feature 0x002: 'SSE registers' Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: x86/fpu: Supporting XSAVE feature 0x004: 'AVX registers' Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: x86/fpu: xstate_offset[2]: 576, xstate_sizes[2]: 256 Jun 22 14:57:18 Zeus kernel: x86/fpu: Enabled xstate features 0x7, context size is 832 bytes, using 'standard' format.

If I want to play a game, I typically switch to a single monitor (Built-in) then I can switch back to Join and everything goes back to normal. That is what I would expect but that is NOT what happens. When using super+p there are 4 options: - Mirror - Join - External - Built-in The first two options work correctly, but the 3rd and 4th options do not. External and Built-in do the exact same thing: they simply shift my monitors around, lose all settings (reset everything). So all 3 monitors are still in use but settings are cleared (orientation, resolution, and frequency are reset). I have to then open up the settings to change it all back. When I go back to Join, I would expect the settings to return to normal. They do not. Super + P simply wipes out monitor settings in my case.
