--- Comment #335 from Michael Butash <mich...@butash.net> --- I did do some upgrades to my system that helped fix general stability (removing i915 driver, moving to nvidia with modern xorg in arch), but still I run into weirdness with the displays resize/relocate/forget whenever they change, which is quite often with my laptop. Part of this seems related to the control-center settings, not sure where to even bark about it, as it loses its settings _every_ time my displays go to sleep. I set it back up in display with no less than some 10-15 clicks, sometimes unplug/plug the TB3, and get it back working. I eat lunch, come back, I have to reset everything again. My case, I have my laptop on the 15" local display, 4k/60hz. Never an issue with built-in, but same res/refresh as externals. Second and Third are two Samsung 48" 4k/60hz tv's, attached via a Thunderbolt dock. KDE has to figure these out each time from scratch oddly, and still always breaks windows sizing on a number of apps. This is the worst, as it makes them like 20px by 1080px for some unfathomable reason, rather even hard to find when juggled randomly. There are some odd issues with the TB3 dock too. It is a CalDigit USB-C Pro Dock from amazon, using 2x DP-to-HDMI2.0 cables that usually work great to my displays when they're awake. When they power down, or I shut them down, the dock seems to treat them both entirely different for what xrandr -Q reports during the time they power down, which is I think what is really killing KDE, but the fact it cannot even remember a default setting for each time, is what makes it worse. I get everything from the display settings in control-panel fighting me to move displays, to changing the resolution and refresh each time. First step is to remove and reconnect the TB3 cable each morning, or the displays pop up in reverse. Control panel shows them and left-to-right, but is just literally backward. Disconnecting the TB3 and back in resets the left/right, but resets my resolution and refresh again, even though xrandr -Q shows right now. Just really wonky, inconsistent behavior with kde display handling, and at this point it's like groundhog day, but less funny. All I want KDE to do after some 15 years is 1) remember my display config, and 2) put things apps/windows back where I had them from before. Hardware/drivers/etc complicate it, but KDE has had a notoriously bad handling of Multi-monitor settings over years since 4.x, this ticket alone ~5yr. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
