Then your issue is different than mine.  And, possibly others.

In my case, while xrandr shows both monitors to be "connected" as normal
one of the monitors blank and obviously not receiving any signal since
it will not stay connected to DP-1 but switches to the HDMI connector
which has a Chromecast connected to it.

Right.  So, different issues.

I don't know if there is a BZ for the issue you're describing.  However,
it seems what I'm seeing has been around for quite some time.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1179924  and others.
