Bug ID: 466430
Summary: Wayland does not remember my monitor arrangement and
crashes when I try to move a window into the second
monitor.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwayland-integration
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: juuso.maen...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
I have a dual-monitor setup (laptop screen + external screen). Whenever I
connect my second monitor, Wayland doesn't remember the config I chose for it
(extend to right). If I try to drag a window into the external monitor, the
screen goes black for a few seconds and all open apps crash. This doesn't
happen if I select "Extend to right" from the monitor config widget, but the
option gets reset whenever I connect my external display again after unplugging
it. This has never occured to me in X11.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attach an external monitor into a laptop on Wayland. Don't change any
configs.
2. Open any app.
3. Try to drag the window to the external monitor.
4. All the apps crash and the screen goes black for a few seconds.
5. After the crash, you are able to move apps to the second monitor.
6. When you unplug and re-plug the monitor, the issue is repeated as the config
is not changed.
OBSERVED RESULT
All the apps crash and the screens go black
EXPECTED RESULT
The window gets moved to the external monitor properly
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: EndeavourOS with kernel version 6.1.12-arch1-1
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This has been happening since the first time I tried Wayland in Plasma 5.26 and
it has never worked. I deleted all my kscreen config files from
"~/.local/share/kscreen" and it asked for the arrangement when I connected the
external monitor. I chose "Extend to right" but it still didn't work.
