Bug Description

I recently purchased a portable USB monitor and decided to connect it to my desktop system as a 3rd monitor. For a couple of hours I was able to setup all three monitors as "joined displays" however at one point when the new monitor started powering on it would mirror one of the other two displays. Additionally, it was quite difficult to move the mouse from either of the mirrored displays to the other one. I'll attach a screenshot of how the displays section of gnome-control-center looks.

I switched the ports to which the different monitors were connected and this is no longer an issue. When reporting the bug I had one of the Dell monitors connected via display port and the rest via HDMI. This is not an issue when I have the Beihai (portable) monitor hooked up via display port and the Dells via HDMI.
