Bug ID: 375507
Summary: blank plasmadesktop containment is created when
cloning display
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.8.95
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Desktop Containment
Assignee: se...@kde.org
Reporter: xapi...@gmx.net
Target Milestone: 1.0
steps to reproduce:
# configure desktop and fill it with widgets
# attach projector
# clone display to projector
# restart xserver
the file: plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc gets a new entry like this:
[Containments][73]
activityId=95dec76c-3e71-47af-a064-cbd5a50957de
formfactor=0
immutability=1
lastScreen=2
location=0
plugin=org.kde.desktopcontainment
wallpaperplugin=org.kde.image
>> all desktop widgets are gone
the old entry :
[Containments][1]
activityId=95dec76c-3e71-47af-a064-cbd5a50957de
formfactor=0
immutability=1
lastScreen=0
location=0
plugin=org.kde.desktopcontainment
wallpaperplugin=org.kde.image
and all it's associated [Applets] are still there but not shown.
pressing "meta+tab" or accessing the activity switcher (or pressing "alt+tab"
without running applications) immediately switches back to containment #1
instead of containment #73 and all widgets are visible again.
i switched the lastScreen values so that containment #73 has lastScreen=0 >
restarted the desktop > everything worked.. all my widgets are here (i'm still
able to switch to the empty containment from the parallel universe with
meta+tab)
the problem is that the moment i disconnect the projector and restart the
desktop the containment with lastScreen=0 is shown (ergo the empty one)
it seems i can't have both..
there is no other desktop configured and no other activity - plasmashell is
doing this automatically but this new "hidden" containment does not show up
anywhere except in the config file..
reproduceable: ALWAYS!
here is a short video of this strange behaviour:

IMHO creating another desktop containment entry in the config file is fine for
big-desktop but clone-desktop should not do this - it should just clone the
current one!
is there a quick fix for that?
