Bug ID: 524261
Summary: Conky gets lost when the screen it is on disconnects
when running as a wayland client
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.7.4
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
DESCRIPTION
My usual setup is a laptop plugged into a docking station with 2 external
displays, one of these displays is set as the primary screen. Generally when I
launch conky it correctly launches and displays on all the virtual desktops of
my primary display. My primary display is a 4K monitor with 1.5x scaling set
putting it at close enough to 2K resolution, my secondary display is 2K and the
laptop monitor is 1920x1080.
When I disconnect my laptop from the docking station the Conky window doesn't
move across to the laptop display like I would expect, as all the other windows
do. The conky process remains running, in addition when the monitor is
connected again conky doesn't reappear on its original monitor. The only
solution is to kill conky and re launch it. If I launch conky on my laptop
while the dock is disconnected it will launch on the laptop window and stay
there when the dock is plugged in which is probably reasonable.
This is using conky configured to run as a wayland client, when running as an
X11 client with xwayland it has a similar issue when a screen is disconnected,
however when the screen is reconnected conky does re appear on the main screen.
Currently I don't have any window rules setup, one of the few settings I do
have enabled is switching virtual desktops per screen but I don't think that is
relevant
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch conky on an external monitor
2. Disconnect Monitor and notice conky window is missing
3. Reconnect Monitor and notice that it is still missing
OBSERVED RESULT
The conky window gets "lost" and is no longer present on a screen
EXPECTED RESULT
Conky should always be visible on a screen, even as they are connected and
disconnected, ideally when the screen is reconnected it should move back to its
original screen as other windows do.
