Bug ID: 484806
Summary: Desktop icons rearrange when disconnecting and
reconnecting external screen
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.0.3
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kato...@gmail.com
CC: h...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The desktop icon rearrange when connecting/disconnecting an external screen
(set as only screen) connected to a USB-C dock.
If the icons are arranged with the external screen connected then after
disconnecting the screen some icons will be placed randomly. After reconnecting
the same screen, the icons are now sorted by name.
If the icons are arranged with only the laptop screen then after connecting the
external screen some icons get randomly placed. Disconnecting the external
screen makes other icons to move around and after reconnecting the external
screen they are again sorted by name.
Switching between screen by software has the same result and in this I have
realized that probably plasmashell is restarting (the panel disappeared and
reappeared.
Similar bug were in 5.27, but it was mostly resolved.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Arrange icons with external screen connected
2. Disconnect external screen
3. Reconnect external screen
OBSERVED RESULT
The icons move around and at the end sorted by name.
EXPECTED RESULT
Icon arrangement should not change.
