Had it happen today for the first time. Other than Ubuntu updates no changes to the configuration in months so it seems to be a very recent change. The last time I used the dual monitor config was 5 days ago, with no troubles at all. Now the 2nd monitor (4k) goes blank and comes back about every 5 seconds. Tried resetting display resolution (and then back again) and may have helped for now.
