Description duskit0 2016-10-30 06:25:50 UTC
I've upgraded my GPÜ to Nvidia's 1060. Before that I used two DVI Connections, now it's a Mini-Displayport and HDMI on the second monitor.

Ever since this change plasma seems to reset the desktop settings and widgets like folder view on the monitors. Sometimes both sometimes just one of the two displays. 

Resolution and orientation of the screens is not affected only the desktop settings like background, widgets and bars.
