I tried it some time ago and had the problem, that I didn't found all related configs. I've removed plasmashellrc and some plasma-related files in .config and .local/share made plasma forget the size of the panels, but not the overall arrangement. What do I need to reset, to start with a clean plasmashell but keeping the rest of KDE like it is, so I can test in the usual environment that causes the problems for me? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458916 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |WAITINGFORINFO Status|REPORTED|NEEDSINFO --- Comment #18 from Nate Graham --- Given such a complicated setup, with multiple output devices and adapters, I think trying with a clean config would make a lot of sense. Some background information: in Plasma 5.27 we implemented a new system for mapping Plasma desktops and panels to screens that is fundamentally more correct by design, and as a result much more robust. We also added code to migrate old settings to this new system. Unfortunately, due to the non-determinism baked into the old system, the migration code works better the simpler your arrangement of screens, desktops, and panels was. Complex arrangements like yours sometimes ran into issues. So a clean config would be good to try. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458916 --- Comment #17 from Alex --- I think I test it later completely new. I have reset the corresponding config, played with other monitor setups in the meantime and mostly used the workaround to move around desktops while the third screen is connected. One thing I noticed: In the KDE monitor settings, the DVI-Device keeps the name of a previous device that was connected to the port. I wonder if KDE tries to identify devices by their name instead of the port. And from my current plasmashellrc: [ScreenConnectors] 0=DP-3 1=HDMI-1 2=HDMI-0 3=HDMI-A-2 4=HDMI-A-1 My current graphics card has 2x DisplayPort and 2x HDMI and I use Displayport to HDMI cables and a HDMI to DVI cable. The device that I often remove is a graphics tablet with HDMI port. In the old config there was more chaos as I had to use a DisplayLink adapter that creates a bunch of virtual video devices. When I now open up the dialog, I see six screens: - DP-3 (primary) - HDMI- - disconnected screen 0 (grey box) - disconnected screen 3 (background and panel) - disconnected screen 4 (background only) - disconnected screen 5 (grey box) HDMI-1 and disconnected 3 sometimes swap places when activating an additional screen, but sometimes it may just be as it is when the display configuration changes. That's why I think it may be an idea to allow to swap everything (I may open a bug for that later, too) so one can just rearrrange the screens correctly. I also use a Nvidia card and the configuration via nvidia-settings and KDE monitor settings do not always look completely the same. I wonder what tool I should prefer for arranging screens (as in where the mouse goes when I move it over the screen edge). I guess there are a lot of places where the confustion about screen arrangements can come from. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458916 --- Comment #13 from Alex --- I still have problems, but mostly I now rearrange workspaces when all relevant screens are on and then the problem is that when I turn on a third monitor, the second and third monitor are swapped. This leads to two features that would be useful even when the bug here is not yet resolved: - Allow to swap workspace and all panels between two screens instead of having to move them one by one. Currently I can drag and drop the workspace and it is switched (as a screen can have only one), but I need to move around all panels separately. - Allow to remove disconnected screens completely. Currently one could possibly remove them from plasmashellrc but would need to take care not to leave orphaned PlasmaViews sections. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Afterward I get when switching activities several messages: requesting unexisting screen 1 (...) requesting unexisting screen 2 and even requesting unexisting screen -1 But currently neither crashes nor wrong screens. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458916 --- Comment #9 from Alex --- I deleted the whole plasmashellrc and plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc files and setup my applets and panels from scratch. Now I don't have the orphaned screens in the config anymore, but the problem persists. Config: - Two active screens, one sometimes active - Two activities (may be part of the problem?) which both have the problem on the second screen New observation: Clicking the workspace (seems not to work with folder view) after the problem changes it to the correct workspace. When it loses focus it changes back to the wrong one, but seems to revert to the correct one later. I still need to see when it switches back, as I only can reproduce after the next login until I've got it fixed somehow. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
[plasmashell] [Bug 458916] Manage Panels and Workspaces resets changes after the window is closed
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458916 --- Comment #8 from Alex --- It also has something to do with the focus. When I move the manage-window to the left screen and change what's on the right screen, it looks correct, when I move the mouse to the right screen and the window loses focus, it changes back to the wrong configuration. And right now I had it being wrong when I closed the window and switching to the correct configuration half a minute later. I still believe there may be some kind of race condition, loading times for plasmoids (there is only a timer widget on the correct screen and one desktop icon on the wrong one) or similar things. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
[plasmashell] [Bug 458916] Manage Panels and Workspaces resets changes after the window is closed
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458916 --- Comment #7 from Alex --- Two other ideas I am testing: 1) I've got a few non-existing screens. After I removed them in plasmashellrc they are even no longer named, but just "Unknown 1 (deactivated)" and cannot be removed. I tried to cleanup plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc but ended with removing stuff from screens I still want to have, so I restored the backup (for now). Maybe the manage window should have an option to discard a workspace. 2) There could be a race condition, that changing workspaces before they (especially the workspaces in background on non-existing screens) are loaded completely causes the changed configuration to be reset. I also have one disabled (non-existing screen connector) screen with a desktop icon containment and when I move it to an existing screen I do NOT get desktop icons on that screen. I had two screens in the manage window with desktop icons that behaved that way, after some more meddling one of them lost the icons and now only contains a background image. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458916 --- Comment #6 from Alex --- Latest try to reproduce it: - The workspaces are wrong after logon - Click edit mode (context menu on the desktop) - Open manage dialog (on HDMI-1), swap HDMI-0 (deactivated) with HDMI-1 - Wallpaper and plasmoids are swapped correctly - Close the window - The workspace is swapped back instantly - Click edit mode (context menu on the desktop) - The correct workspace is shown (with wallpaper and plasmoids) instantly - Click manage panels and workspaces - The manage window opens, the edit mode stops. The wallpaper and plasmoids are swapped back to the wrong workspace - The manage window shows the correct arrangement - Swap them back, close the window. - Things stay as they are (The incorrect workspace is active) - Open edit mode - Nothing special happens - Open manage panels and workspaces - The window shows the wrong arrangement, but the workspace switches to the correct one - Close the window (without changing anything) - The workspace stays the correct one -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458916 --- Comment #5 from Alex --- I comment when I find more ways to reproduce it. Maybe I try to manually cleanup my plasmashellrc again. I removed some lines, now my DVI-D-1-1 DIV-D-1-2, ... displays (from a DisplayLink adapter) are called "Unknown", so I guess I didn't remove everything. On the other hand it is already annoying that my main displays (nvidia card) still get swapped from time to time. It may be that some of the monitor settings are applied (by the nvidia-settings tool?) after logon and that's causing it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
