Bug Description
I just accidentally hit Meta-P and was extremely confused by the result. As I only tapped it, I didn't see the on-screen menu, and my displays were suddenly configured completely differently (both resolution _and_ orientation).
Furthermore, when I used Meta-P to switch back to "Join Displays", my previous configuration was lost.
