STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set different padding on two different monitors (mine are of different sizes and have different scaling factors, hence the different padding settings). 2. Disconnect the display whose padding was set last 3. Reconnect the display OBSERVED RESULT Padding settings are lost on reconnected monitor EXPECTED RESULT Padding settings are remembered from the last time they were set – preferably any monitor the same size (based on resolution and scaling factor) would have the same padding settings.

The code is working as expected, but the UI is misleading showing on every screen. We can change that to only be on the primary screen. 2325669 3 m1vri31c 2024-06-08 06:37:52 +0000 (In reply to David Edmundson from comment #2) > It's not stored on a per-screen basis. > The code is working as expected, but the UI is misleading showing on every > screen. > > We can change that to only be on the primary screen. It would be great if it could store it per-screen in the future, since larger monitors often feel better with more padding and vice versa. 2490752 4 tobias.fella 2026-02-02 10:09:31 +0000 (In reply to David Edmundson from comment #2) > It's not stored on a per-screen basis. > The code is working as expected, but the UI is misleading showing on every > screen. It's not just the UI being misleading, at runtime the padding is applied per-screen. > We can change that to only be on the primary screen. I'd propose properly allow setting and saving it per-screen, the change required for that seems minimal. 2490795 5 bug-janitor 2026-02-02 14:06:05 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/8732 2491248 6 vlad.zahorodnii 2026-02-04 10:59:35 +0000 Git commit 348d0a0381f7bc7eb04c8fc5db5dc725a1a531a0 by Vlad Zahorodnii, on behalf of Tobias Fella.

to be applied to all displays, because: - I frequently add and remove displays. - I utilise the same padding on each: - …to work around https://discuss.kde.org/t/31979/6?u=rokejulianlockhart. - …because it *was* useful for screenshots, before https://discuss.kde.org/t/44175?u=rokejulianlockhart (so it likely shall be again, when/if resolved). - …because 3 pixels prevents the bottom-most window border rendering below the display. 189415 2026-02-09 23:31:24 +0000 2026-02-09 23:31:24 +0000 A Screenshot Of The Potentially-Relevant Preference @{'Date'='20260209T232344+0000';
