Description Rafael Linux User 2016-06-14 09:32:46 UTC

I have two monitors plugged to my PC. The smaller (VGA 1280x1024) is rotated 90º and is placed in the left. The bigger (HDMI 1920x1080) is not rotated. I had my main panel moved to the left edge of my bigger monitor and is auto-hidded. I added two new empty panels in the left side monitor (the rotated one).  I was working fine with this configuration on  OpenSUSE 13.2  till I upgraded a clean installation of OpenSUSE 42.1.

Now I have a lot of  issues, there are:
- My main panel on the left edge of my right side monitor (HDMI) does not auto-hidde despite that function is activated
- If I add empty panels to left monitor (VGA) they are added like the monitor were not rotated, that is, the panels have 1280pixels width, overlapping the right side monitor (HDMI).
- If I try to drag the new panel to the bottom of the rotated monitor (at 1280 pixels from top), it stops just at 1024 pixels, not at 1280 pixels, like it should be. However, I can move and see my mouse pointer on that area (between 1024 and 1280 pixels)  and even place windows in that "gap".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Rotate second monitor and apply changes
2.Add new panels

Actual Results:  
Rotated monitor is showing correctly windows content (rotated 90º), however, panels and screen limits are acting like that monitor were not rotated.

Expected Results:  
To take into account the rotated screen new limits.

Any chance you could try this again in the Plasma 5.18 beta? See https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/epkjlo/plasma_518_lts_beta_more_convenient_and_with_long/fejwivz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

Hi

Well, I have now that config in a previous version of Plasma, and it seems is solved. I can't test a beta version cause I have a stable OpenSUSE version, not the rolling release.

Thank you for notice me about it

I wish OpenSUSE new release will come soon to try the new patches.
