Thank you for the bug report!

However Plasma 5.13.90 is no longer supported by KDE; supported versions are 5.24, and 5.26 or newer.
Your distribution is responsible for providing support for older versions of KDE software.

Please do one of the following:
- Upgrade to a supported version and see if the issue is still relevant
- Report the issue to your distribution

This is intended when the screen you're plugging in has already been plugged in at least once before; the idea is to show the OSD only for new screens, to help you arrange them.

Is the screen you're plugging in one that you've plugged in before?

If so, does the OSD appear if you delete ~/.local/share/kscreen, reboot, and then plug the screen in again?

Cool, then it's working as intended on X11. Does the same thing happen on Wayland?
