Bug ID: 466046 Summary: Multiple Monitors with matching names cannot be told apart under Display Configuration applet. Classification: Plasma Product: KScreen Version: 5.27.0 Platform: Archlinux OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: minor Priority: NOR Component: Plasma Applet Assignee: kscreen-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: km...@tuta.io Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 156470 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=156470&action=edit My three MSI Optix G24C monitors, all easily confused for one another. SUMMARY I have three identical monitors, but the only thing in the display configurator that actually produces a physically different name under Display Configuration is the "Identify" button that brings up the OSD, only because the OSD displays the physical DisplayPort plug next to the name. It wasn't really an issue before, but in 5.27, with the new Display Priorities menu, that replaced the Primary Monitor button, to actually set my display priorities, I now need to do some guesswork as to which monitor is which. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have two or more matching monitors, or monitors that otherwise report the same name in software 2. Open Display Configuration menu 3. Attempt to interpret which monitor is which, especially in the Priorities menu. OBSERVED RESULT All monitors are indistinguishable due to having the same name. EXPECTED RESULT Appended numbers when name match detected, or Port ID, displayed after name.
