            Bug ID: 327209
           Summary: Configuration of second monitor is changed when
                    reconfiguring first one
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.11.2
          Platform: Gentoo Packages

          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR

While connecting projector I have observed small annoyance - seems that System
Settings monitor configuration tool cares about sequence of setting change - it
especially hates "copy of" ("clone") mode for secondary monitor and tries to
force "above" layout instead.
This is not a critical bug as clicking in the right order solves problem but
still it's annoying as hell if I hit "apply" while thinking that configuration
is like I set not like systemsettings decided it to be.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect second monitor;
2. In System Settings set resolution of new monitor;
3. Set new monitor to be clone of main one;
4. For main monitor change resolution to the newly connected monitors
resolution
Actual Results:  
After 4th step, new monitor mode is changed from "clone" to "above".
Workaround - after 4th step repeat 3rd step or just remember to execute 4th
step before 3rd.

Note - "apply" button isn't pressed while performing those steps.

Expected Results:  
Changing resolution of main monitor should not change "clone" setting of
secondary monitor
