screenshot of my two-monitor desktop, note plain color wallpaper doesn't fill
external monitor
SUMMARY
Upon my last two Plasma logins, my plain color desktop "wallpaper" doesn't fill
my external monitor. The color fills 1920x1080 pixels of my external
DisplayPort monitor, which is the size as my Thinkpad T461's built-in display,
but my external monitor is 1920x1200 so there's a black strip at the bottom
(see attachment). Covering the desktop with a window then exposing it doesn't
fix the problem, the black repaints. The problem goes away (i.e. my chosen
color fills the entire display) if I right-click "Edit..." my plasma panel.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure Displays of laptop with external 1920x1200 monitor to have
external display on top and primary monitor.
2. Right-click desktop on external monitor, choose Configure Desktop... >
Desktop Settings, set layout: Desktop, Wallpaper Type: Plain Color,
Color:#264c37 (dark green). I also set the same on my laptop display.
3. Restart KDE.
OBSERVED RESULT
Twice now after rebooting into KDE my plain wallpaper color does not extend
over the entire second monitor (see attachment).
EXPECTED RESULT
Desktop wallpaper solid color should fill; both monitors entirely. This worked
fine for years until the last week or so. Fedora 32 KDE spin updates KDE
regularly, most libraries date from May 5 and some from May 18.
