Description kde 2018-02-27 17:26:52 UTC
When switching between a laptop's built-in screen and a dock with two external monitors, the secondary screen can lose its configuration.

Switching from one to two screens will present a default desktop on the secondary screen with all configuration gone. However, widgets still appear in the widgets explorer, but there is no way to remove them since they aren't displayed anymore.

So at the moment, widget explorer shows that I have two analog clocks, although the first one is nowhere to be seen.

Is this bug still happening on newer Plasma versions?
