Transform not restored when switching from scaled to non-scaled display

[polyfloyd]

Hi,

I'm using autorandr to switch between my laptop's builtin display with high DPI and external monitor with low DPI. To ensure that applications appear somewhat normal sized, I used --scale 1.25x1.25 when initially setting up the external monitor and then created a profile for autorandr with autorandr --save desk.

When switching back from the external monitor by unplugging it, the scaling information seems to be kept which causes my laptop's display to show my screen kind of cropped into the top left corner.

I fixed it manually by adding the transform property with identity matrix to the config like below. Perhaps the solution would involve something similar.

transform 1.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,1.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,1.000000

Unfortunately, that approach would cause problems for users affected by https://github.com/phillipberndt/autorandr/issues/37. Autorandr uses --transform only when it thinks that that is necessary. Here, it seems the issue is that it doesn't detect properly that the transformation is applied..

Could you attach the configurations (attached/detached), xrandr --verbose for both desired configurations, and the --dry-run --debug outputs for switching?
