Display Configuration page showing the issue
SUMMARY
The Display Configuration page of the System Settings does not have a "Reset to
Defaults" button, so if the config gets messed up somehow you might need to
find the right file and edit it by hand. I don't know what I did, but this
happened to me. The coordinates for one monitor were for some reason way too
large and I couldn't drag it back using the Edit Arrangement functionality
anymore. See attached screenshot. Took some poking and asking around to find
~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json so I could edit the coordinates to reasonable
values again.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I don't know how it happened, but I somehow ended up with "position": { "x":
2147482367, "y": 2147483647 } for one output in ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json
OBSERVED RESULT
There's no way to get the output into a usable state anymore using the config
dialog.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a "Reset to Defaults" button that puts everything into a
reasonable position again.
