For some time I run a dual-head setup via HDMI at home. At some point in the past I created a profile for this setup named 'doppelt'. This Friday at work I was using another dual-head setup via miniDisplayPort, and decided to save it.  I did not see the home profile, and named that new profile 'Dell'. Today at home I checked the settings, and the old profile 'doppelt' was still there. Apparently only matching profiles are shown. That is all fine.

I decided to give the home profile a new name. I deleted the old profile, and saved the new one as 'aoc'. While trying to leave the settings window I got a window like "Aktualisieren des geänderten Bildschirmprofils '(null)'? <Schließen> | Aktualiserien (null)

It looks like some code paths do still use stale data.
