https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351256 Stefan Becker changed: What|Removed |Added CC||chemob...@gmail.com --- Comment #4 from Stefan Becker --- I'm now running plasma 5.6.2 and can add another case where kscreen/plasma gets confused: because both monitors are identical the panel appears randomly on one or the other after switching from laptop LVDS to docking station DP-2/DP-3 DP-conected monitors BTW: when looking at the files in $HOME/.local/share/kscreen/ I can see that both entries for the external screen the same ID value. I guess that SHA-1 value is calculated only from data which is exactly the same for both monitors. IMHO including "name" field (== xrandr output name) from "metadata" map would make the ID unique. With 5.5.x the behaviour was different: the panel always appeared on the primary output. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351256 --- Comment #3 from Jason Tibbitts --- Yes, of course I can see that the description changes down below when I click each one, and to be honest because I have to do this so often I have remembered exactly which one in the stack needs to be dragged where. But it did, sadly, take me a while to figure out how to tell them apart. I'm sure this is a rather simple fix, but I haven't done any C++ work since that class I took in 1987. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Click on each monitor and you will see output under the monitor's layout editor. At least this way it's possible to identify which monitor is which. But I'd still like to see in the layout editor too :). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
