Public bug reported: >From https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312455:
Monitor rotation is not taken into account when calculating the horizontal location of the screen. If you align the screens visually, there's a gap, if you use the snap to put them together there is a visual overlap but the real gap is gone. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take a two-screen setup, rotate the right one to portrait. Align them. 2.Observe that 'proper' alignment (according to snap and results) requires overlap in the 'preview' Actual Results: There is overlap in the preview Expected Results: The screens don't overlap This was fixed by: Git commit f1abc90fed67d4185c23482ca93988f32ad0b279 by Dan Vrátil.
