Yes.

I believe that is this upstream bug
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=346961

I'm going to test if removing the write access to the kscreen config file
works as a workaround. Other workaround I've seen is to configure your
displays in Xorg.

Yes, here on Nvidia drivers with two screens the same happens. Not sure 
if it's every other reboot though, but from time to time i loose the 
screen arrangement and get both in clone mode with wrong resolution.
I am investigating Yakuake (a terminal emulator) which starts with the 
session and tries to display a pop-up message over the plasma session 
splash screen, it may be what triggers the problem.


Otherwise it's great and stable.

Cheers.

Hi,

my experience is, that after i send my pc to hibernate or reboot the screen 
settings get sometimes lost (like every second reboot).

Then i have to re-arrange the positions of the two screens again on first 
login.

Has anyone else the same experience?

Going to try that on the desktop, maybe even tonight.

No, I use laptop display + external display. I have no reason to disable 
laptop display, so…

Did you try what happens when you switch away all displays? That was
an annoying bug in the last year making it impossible to have a
desktop and a notebook connected to the same displays via two KVM switches

[Martin Steigerwald]

Hi!

The multiscreen handling with KF 5.22/5.23 and Plasma 5.6.4/5 and especially 
Qt 5.6.1 is definately working better now.

The disappearing window bug on disconnecting external display is gone.

Thats really, really nice.

Thanks,
