Bug Description
Hi, I'd like to report the following bug. I'm trying to setup multiple displays, but whatever settings I try to set, after pressing 'Apply' and 'Keep Settings', they revert back to the previous settings.
I have one built-in laptop display (D1) and one external display (D2), connected via a USB-C dock using DisplayLink and HDMI. Display Mode is set to 'Join Displays'.
It seems whatever settings I change, they don't persist. I tried the following settings:
- Change the primary display from (D1) to (D2). Reverts back to (D1) being the primary.
- Change the order of the displays to match my physical setup (D2 on the left, D1 on the right). Reverts back to D1 on the left, D2 on the right.
- Change the order of the displays putting D1 on top of D2. Reverts back to D1 on the left, D2 on the right.
- Change the refresh rate of D2 from 60 Hz to 50 Hz. Reverts back to 60 Hz.
If you need any further information, please let me know.

Interestingly, the problem disappears when using Xorg, so it seems to be only with Wayland.
