Using wayland.

I'm not sure if I understand in relation to the issue. Is Kscreen KCM the page
in System Settings > Display and Monitor > Display Configuration?  If so see
below.

Here's an example just now, with screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/wtJP98l
Before image: Two monitors plugged in, initial layout.
After image: what happens after plugging in a 3rd monitor, showing re-arranged
screens and the overlay prompting action (which doesn't work).

One point of my request is, why does it rearrange the existing two monitors in
"After"? Initially I had the 2560x1440 screen on the bottom left,  and the
3840x2160 screen next to it on the right (as they are on my desk). After
plugging in the next screen, it decides to re-arrange them so the 3840x2160
screen is at the far left, the 2560x1440 screen moves to the middle, and the
new screen at the far right. My ideal expected result is "The layout of
monitors set in display settings should be "glued together", and adding a new
monitor should not unglue and move the other monitors around". It's really
annoying to have to mess with this all the time. Especially for something like
adding a virtual display for screen sharing in wayland (described in original
post).

Another point is that the overlay for extend to left/right/etc (as shown in the
"After" screenshot) does nothing when I click on them. Does it even make sense
for anything other than 2 monitors?

I can follow up with other screenshots for the issues with widgets.

>  "only" (lol) three monitors

Just wondering... is 3+ monitors assumed uncommon and less tested here?
