Bug ID: 466297
Summary: Do not disable screen if it is mirrored
Classification: Plasma
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.27.1
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: common

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have a laptop which I connect to a docking station, which connects to two
screens. The laptop's screen is mirrored by one of those external monitors.
When I close the lid of the laptop, however, its screen is automatically
disabled in the settings, even though it remains by all intents and purposes
active as it is mirrored by the external monitor. However, this disabling means
that the internal configuration changes, so panels, widgets and backgrounds are
changed. It would be best if disabling a screen was disabled if the screen is
replicated by another output.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Replicate a laptop's screen to an external monitor
2. Close the laptop's lid
OBSERVED RESULT
The laptop's screen is disabled, causing all sorts of (small, admittedly)
issues.
EXPECTED RESULT
The laptop's screen is not disabled as it is replicated.
