I would turn off the Settings/Display "Configure new displays > when connected" option, as that might affect this. Unfortunately that it does not improve anything, rather, if turned on at least I get a dialog asking me what config I want so it's just a single click to have +1920 for the second monitor after they are powered down/up. If turned off I need either to run a script or click my way to the Settings/Display editor. I did some googling this morning and it is rather apparent that xfce do have problems configuring displays. As I wrote earlier, I applied the patch https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/commit?id=e128126f5e32c1018854403bb846cb9d6a091bb0 referenced here https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14096 to displays.c in xfce4-settings-4.12.1 but nothing changed so difficult to tell now if this is a pure xfce problem and some other file needs a fix or a ports problem. I am completely out of ideas now so I'll live with it until someone more clever figures out what is going on.
