Bug ID: 466516
Summary: Since Plasma 5.27, Plasma no longer remembers which
display is "primary"
Classification: Plasma
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.27.1
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: kscreen-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kdeb...@vorpal.se
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After updating to KDE 5.27, Plasma no longer remembers which monitor is
supposed to be the primary display when I connect an external monitor. Instead
it is always the internal monitor that is set to primary.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect external monitor (I'm using DisplayPort via the Thinkpad Thunderbolt
Dock).
2. Press Fn+F7 to bring up OSD and select extend to right (this laptop never
auto-enables external displays for some reason).
3. Observe that the setting of which display was primary has been forgotten
since last time.
OBSERVED RESULT
Primary display forgotten even though I checked to save display properties "for
any display arrangement".
EXPECTED RESULT
Like with Plasma 5.26, it should remember which display is primary since last
time I used this setup.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Nvidia drivers used as external displays are connected directly to the nvidia
card (not to the intel card). Thus I can only test this in nvidia or hybrid
mode. And hybrid mode is super-laggy and unstable, so I'm not using that.
