OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-crash
Assignee: [email protected]

SUMMARY
Sometimes, connecting a monitor via HDMI may cause Plasma to crash as it
attempts to move the main display from the laptop screen to the external
display.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Before reproducing, make sure the external monitor is set as the main display
and the laptop screen set to turn off automatically when monitor is connected
1. Connect external monitor to laptop (HDMI port, idk if this affects DP)
2. Laptop display will turn off, and screen will appear on external monitor
OBSERVED RESULT
Plasma desktop disappears (background turns black, taskbar, desktop icons, and
widgets disappear)
Only kwin remains running
(Same thing happens when going from external monitor back to laptop display)
EXPECTED RESULT
Desktop should switch displays successfully without crashing
