Bug ID: 439308
Summary: Reproducible reset of multi-mon layout config
w/Blockout II app in fullscreen ;-)
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: c...@encapsule.io
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have 3 x 4K monitors connected to a single graphics card that I have
positioned normally for a large wrap-around desktop.
If I install the old BlockOut II game (available in Software Center) and run
that app in full-screen mode, it resets the screen layout so that all three
desktops are on top of each other (i.e. if you go to System Settings | Hardware
| Display and Monitors you'll see _one_ display monitor (w/the other two
apparently missing). Dragging the one visible monitor reveals the 2nd, and so
on... It would not seem that the app should be able to persistently alter these
settings?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Blockout II
2. Launch game in full-screen mode
3. Exit the game
OBSERVED RESULT
Multi-monitor screen layout data is reset persistently requiring that I go back
into Display and Monitor and re-arrange the display monitors. What's not great
about this is that it's not immediately obvious what happened or how to fix it.
EXPECTED RESULT
No persistent changes to multi-monitor screen layout settings (i.e. settings
restored) on exit from app.
