    Icons and windows rearranging due to monitor powersaving


    I have 1 primary 1440p screen connected via DP and two 1080p screens connected via HDMI. When the screens switch to power saving mode after a period of inactivity and i wake them up, windows are moved from the primary screen to one of the smaller monitors and resized and desktop icons are rearranged. I've read it's because DP and HDMI have different power saving mechanics. Is there any setting I can change or software I can use to fix this? I would like to keep using power saving, at least on the two smaller screens.
