Bug Description
I am using:
- Ubuntu 19.10
- Nvidia gtx1080
- nvidia xserver installed
- two 4k monitors
I changed the scaling and order of monitors in Ubuntu Display settings.
However when I reboot or logout/login the display settings reset and i have to set them all over again each time.

Updating, I have narrowed down the bug further.
So the settings are not persisted when fractional scaling is used.
If i enable fractional scaling and then change the scaling, display settings are not persisted across sessions.
If i simply enable fractional scaling, but dont change the scaling (leaving it at 100%), but change other display settings, like location of monitors, they are indeed persisted.
