Hi, I'm new to this thread, not to having this issue. This bit me infrequently
between 2015 and 2019 on two separate Fedora workstations (each with 1
monitor), then it went away but after a recent upgrade from Plasma 5.26 to 5.27
it came back with a vengeance (single Fedora workstation, 2 screens). Rather
than (after using KDE/Plasma for over a decade) changing to a different DE
(which I was very tempted to do but I guess Gnome 2 isn't around any more) I
decided to try some debugging first.
I've made an interactive shell script for myself with options to 1) create a
backup of plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and to 2) quit
plasmashell/restore appletsrc backup/restart plasmashell
( kquitapp5 plasmashell ; cp -v $backupfile
$HOME/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc ; kstart5 plasmashell & )
This allows me to quickly test out different screen configurations with the
same appletsrc.
Notes on my current setup:
Left screen: Folder View, icons, panel on top of the screen
Right screen: Desktop View, no icons and panels etc. and set to primary display
(can't remember why I did that)
Some provisional conclusions based on many tests:
-Turing the right screen off makes scrambling less frequent
-Setting panel to autohide (*) makes scrambling less frequent (50%)
-Setting right screen to Folder View usually moves my icons to the right screen
(arranged in rows)
*) I've noticed during restart of plasmashell that sometimes icons are lined up
correctly but get scrambled within a few hundred milliseconds. And I also
noticed that their vertical space is squashed by a tiny factor when the panel
is loaded in. I assumed this is so that the panel doesn't cover up icons so
maybe the panel loading in may be a factor in this issue?
So far I haven't seen this issue happening when the right screen is off and
panel is set to autohide but I want to test that some more...
