Public bug reported: The default resolution of my external monitor is 4K UHD (3840 ⨉ 2160). I set its resolution to a lower value (2560 ⨉ 1440). The external monitor is attached to a laptop. When I close the laptop lid, the built-in display is turned off, which is desired, however, the external monitor goes back to its default resolution (3840 ⨉ 2160), which is not desired. When I open back the lid, the built-in display is turned on, and the external monitor resolution stays with the default value (3840 ⨉ 2160), which is also not desired.
