Public bug reported: I usually connect an external monitor to my laptop. I had it set up (System Settings->Displays) so that the laptop's built-in monitor is turned off, and the external monitor is the only active one (of course, when I unplug the external monitor, the builtin one turns on automatically, and it turns off when I plug in the external monitor again). I have been using this configuration for ages and it usually gets remembered across boots, as expected.
Today I booted and the two monitors were both turned on, acting as an extended desktop. Unplugging and plugging the monitor again did not fix the issue. I had to manually edit the settings to put them as they were before.
