Description naraesk 2015-08-18 13:29:46 UTC

Seems to happen only when an external monitor is connected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect an external monitor to the notebook
2. close notebook
3. open notebook

Actual Results:  
The wallpaper and plasma widgets from the external monitor have switched. The widgets that were displayed on the external monitor are now shown on the laptop etc.

Also there is a problem restoring primary output after plasma start. 
I have many different scenarios besides the expected one.
Using 3 monitors (1 laptop, 2 connected to docking station), expected setup is:
left: laptop
center: external monitor 1 (primary output)
right: external monitor 2
Scenario 1: I have all outputs placed over each other
Scenario 2: Outputs are placed correctly, primary output is laptop
Scenario 3: Outputs are placed correctly, primary output is ext1, widgets are on ext1, however panel after some dancing between laptop and ext1 ends up on laptop screen
OS : Chakra
kscreen/libkscreen version: 5.5.4

Could you test this against git master (either via Neon dev/unstable or openSUSE tumbleweed with latest git master builds)?

We've fixed an issue that could lead to this behavior last week.

If the problem persists, please clean out ~/.local/share/kscreen/kscreen.log, reproduce this issue, and attach the log to this bugreport.

Thanks for your help sorting this out!
