Bug ID: 473832
Summary: Desktop icons sometimes get reset to default sorting
after changing display configurations, even if they
are locked and set to unsorted.
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.7
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop Containment
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sarahvc...@gmail.com
CC: notm...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I use a laptop, and sometimes after plugging and unplugging displays, all of my
desktop icons get reset to sorted by name, left to right. I'll rearrange my
desktop, and a few hours or a day later I'll notice that they've been reset
again after plugging in or unplugging a monitor. It doesn't change any of my
desktop settings themselves, but the icons are still rearranged.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set desktop icons to unsorted and locked. (I also have them set to
small-medium, but I'm not sure if that affects it or not.
2. Move icons around in any configuraton
3. Change display configurations or disconnect and reconnect some displays a
few times.
OBSERVED RESULT
Icons will eventually be completely reset and will be sorted by name, left to
right. They do not revert after reverting the display configuration. Checking
the desktop settings, icons are still set as unsorted and locked
EXPECTED RESULT
Icons should remain as they were positioned by the user unless a screen
resolution or scaling change forces them to move.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (6.4.12-zen1-1-zen)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I asked on the KDE subreddit, and someone else said they had the same issue,
this time on the Steam Deck, so it does not appear to be isolated to me.
