Further tinkering, shows that External and Built-in do nothing but make my monitors go blank (refresh).
If I select any of those while on Mirror, I remain on mirror. The same goes for Join.

If I want to play a game, I typically switch to a single monitor (Built-in) then I can switch back to Join and everything goes back to normal. That is what I would expect but that is NOT what happens. When using super+p there are 4 options: - Mirror - Join - External - Built-in The first two options work correctly, but the 3rd and 4th options do not. External and Built-in do the exact same thing: they simply shift my monitors around, lose all settings (reset everything). So all 3 monitors are still in use but settings are cleared (orientation, resolution, and frequency are reset). I have to then open up the settings to change it all back. When I go back to Join, I would expect the settings to return to normal. They do not. Super + P simply wipes out monitor settings in my case.
