Description Allen W. Jones 2016-06-24 21:19:51 UTC

When more than one monitor has been added to the xscreen in portrait rotation, the workspace may remain in landscape mode and overlap to the adjacent monitor(s). I have seen this specifically on my 3x1200x1600 xscreen configuration.

If you click on each monitor's background, it is as though the workspace 'comes to surface' and changes the overlap. Sometimes one or more of the workspaces align properly (usually only primary display).

Click/Right click in blank areas has no effect compared to click/right click into visible areas. Mouse pointer can access blank areas and windows/fullscreen is not prohibited from those areas.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure multiple monitors from Display Manager or NVidia Application
2. Reboot and Logon
3. Click around on each monitor
4. Open a window, maximize or move

Actual Results:  
One or more of the workspaces doesn't align with the xscreen configuration and doesn't properly display/align wallpaper.

Expected Results:  
Expected workspace/wallpaper to properly align to xscreen configuration.

Initial login screen is in landscape rotation which makes logon sideways, but all screens are properly aligned in that rotation. Locking the workspace and logging in can sometimes align all screens but doesn't last if rebooted.

How does that look like when you use Plasma's configuration tool? Does your setup support XRandR? If yes, can you add the output of XRandR to this bug report.

If you are referring to Display and Monitor in the System Settings, yes I have tried reconfiguring from there. Otherwise, I am unaware of another Plasma configuration tool?

Here is the output from xrandr:

Martin does the extra information provided in comment #2 assist to diagnose this issue?
