[plasmashell] [Bug 466869] Desktop icons reset positions after changing screen setup
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466869 --- Comment #14 from php4...@gmail.com --- I'm still observing this issue, I think not systematically but only from time to time. The way it happens to me (but as I said, I think not always) is as follows: 0. I use an external monitor connected to the laptop as the only monitor all the time, with the built-in screen always disabled (and the lid closed) 1. I have a few icons on the desktop arranged as I like 2. Occasionally I need to take my laptop elsewhere to do some work, so I do one of the following: 2.A. Disconnect the external screen and open the laptop lid while my computer is on, and keep using my computer elsewhere with the built-in screen as the main and only. Then connect it back and close the lid, switching back to the original configuration. OR 2.B. Shut down, disconnect the external screen, power up and boot without the external screen, do some work, shut down, reconnect, power up and boot with the original configuration And when I go back to my original configuration, my icons have been rearranged, all clumped-up to the top-left corner and in alphabetical order. It makes me want to kill somebody. I'm not sure which one between 2.A or 2.B triggers the issue, it may be specifically and systematically one of the two, or one or both only sometimes. It's something that I don't do very often and it had been quite a long time since the last time I had observed the issue. I can expect the icons to get moved when I switch to a smaller screen if their original position falls outside of the new screen (not all clumped up and reordered, though, I would expect them to be moved the least possible, although that might not be trivial), but when I switch back to a screen of a resolution that I have already used, I expect them to go back to where they were (if they still exist), and only icons that didn't exist before, or that were manually moved on the other screen can be in an "unexpected" (by me) position. I mean I can definitely see that there are cases where you are forced to make a decision of what to do where the answer may be up to personal preference, but not in most cases, and it's certainly possible to avoid destroying all the information. Switching screens forth and back and not manually touching any icon definitely should not result in losing all the work of positioning my icons on the desktop. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
