Windows rearranging when using a KVM

I switch between two computers using a level1techs KVM. When switching away from my Linux machine and then back to it, the position of any open windows are rearranged. My Windows 11 machine doesn’t experience this problem. I assume it has something to do with how the desktop is handled when no monitor is attached, but I am unsure of how to address this issue. I am using an RX 6900 XT GPU and have checked to make sure everything is up to date.

I added a configuration to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf but this didn’t seem to help.

So, this isn’t really the solution I wanted, but if I plug a second displayport cable into my gpu and monitor and mirror the two ports, my windows won’t be jumbled when I switch back and forth with the KVM.
