Description Robert Derochette 2015-11-01 14:11:15 UTC 
When I start Plasma when my secondary screen is turned off, I can't enable it with a resolution which is greater than 1024x768@60Hz.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
If my secondary monitor is not switched on when I start Plasma, and I run xrandr in a konsole, xrandr detects its maximum resolution to 1024x768@60Hz.
Then if I switch on my secondary screen, xrandr detects all its capabilities, which is up to 2048x1536@60Hz.
However in systemsettings this secondary monitor does not have its correct information (see screenshot in the URL).



Expected Results:  
I think Plasma reads monitor information upon startup once for all, and in my case this changes whether the screen is turned on or not. So shouldn't systemsettings asks xrandr about monitor information every time you go into display settings section ?

I didn't have this problem in KDE 4.14   (but many versions 4.x before too)

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant that I did not have this problem with KDE 4.x (not only with 4.14)
