Public bug reported:

Setting the screen resolution explicitly from anything instead of the
default 800x600 resolution while Disco Kubuntu is booted from a virtual-
machine (Virtualbox) is met with the resolution switching quickly to
what's expected followed by it immediately switching back to 800x600.
Testing this in GNOME afterward is not met with this bug.

==== Guest Additions (proprietary) testing ====
(This utilizes the proprietary guest addition add-ons from Virtualbox to 
further test the limits of the bug, but since the guest additions are 
proprietary additions to the operating system, I am separating it.)

With Guest Additions installed, Plasma is able to stay with the auto-scaled 
resolution correctly, but setting any specific resolution is met with it 
switching back to the auto-scaled resolution much like how it would switch back 
to 800x600 earlier. GNOME is still able to switch to other resolutions without 
any problem with Guest Additions installed.
==== ====

I am unable to test if this bug affects actual real machines and
hardware or if it is a virtual monitor specific bug.

I was using the KDE Displays settings GUI (kcmshell5 kcm_screen) while
encountering this bug.
