Bug ID: 446591
Summary: Workspace icons rearrange at display reconnect
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.3
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Hey there, I have two 4k displays connected via Displayport, one is rotated by
90 degrees, the other one is my main display.
It happened multiple times already that after turning off both displays and on
again, the icons I ordered manually on my workspace rearrange themselves,
appending icons in a second / third etc. road after the first one.
I have similar issues when changing the display resolution to something smaller
than the icons need to be displayed (e.g. when starting games for the first
time at low resolution, which should be another issue, but might get solved
here as well).
My guess is that the PC forgets about the displays and when reconnected,
arranged the icons again, changing the order. (just a guess though, but I see
my display flickering beforehand).
This issue might get solved by saving the icon layout and, if the resolution
changes / displays get disconnected and reconnected, the icon layout is
restored, if no changes have been made to them in the meantime.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Arrange icons on workspace manually in multiple rows
1. Turn off display connected via DP
2. Turn it on again
3. Observe
OBSERVED RESULT
Icons are rearranged
EXPECTED RESULT
Previous layout should be kept
