You said rearrange and I assumed you were talking about positions. I saw a post regarding headless setup. It seems the issue happens if the system can't read the monitor's properties. Weird issue but never had it.
I had an issue where external monitor (which has 2 HDMI inputs) would get stuck between on and off, can't access any controls with the button. Then I moved the connector a little bit and it came back to life. So it might be a connector issue which in case of internal display would be hard to access without opening.
