See the attached screenshot. 

I think it should automatically switch back to laptop only if I unplug the cable and not stay in connected monitor mode. 

Do you agree?

I'm not sure I understand at all what you mean. When you connect a display, the minimal dialog (the thing in your screenshot) will show up (if the option for it is enabled), then you can select one of those presets or your own profile, which you can now save in the display dialog.
Then you should close that dialog again as you don't need it anymore.

When you disconnect the cable, there is no such dialog and there's only the laptop left.

It works exactly as you describe it. Just not via the minimal dialog, because it's not needed.

Or do I fundamentally miss something here? (Your screencast didn't help me at all)

That was probably my mistake! I always left it open. 

Maybe the window can auto close to prevent confusion?

Which event should close the dialog..?

We were considering to make the layout selection buttons close the dialog immediately, but that may also be a little unexpected for users and if you mis-click that's very inconvenient, because there's no easy way to get the dialog back.

Make sense. Let's keep it as is then. I think we are fine. I'd say it was my user error then. ;-)
