Is this a modesetting driver issue? I believe I've seen this happen when
hotplugging an external monitor. It only happens for me with the modeset
driver, though, not the intel driver. The modesetting driver is
excellent for some things (eg it doesn't tear on the external monitor
like the intel driver does), but it does struggle a bit when changing
resolutions and screen layouts (eg every time I log in, it completely
unnecessarily changes my laptop screen resolution from 1920x1080 to
640x480 and then back again to 1920x1080).
