He thinks it might be related to having both Xfwm and Nvidia drivers. Not sure whether this also happened with other window managers as well.

Not really, how can you have clone + different resolution? it's not
clone, it's two overlapping outputs.And in that case, what size are
you supposed to take as the actual size of the monitor, the small or
the large one?

But for sure I would need the actual layout as reported by xrandr by
an application like
