Description Anders Lund 2020-05-27 09:10:27 UTC

Plugging in my ekstra screen doesnt work correctly since last update. There are several issues:

Identifying screens does not work correctly. If I drag screens to my preferred configuration (extra screen to the right of laptop screen) identification is switched. This leads to multiple problems with window sizes etc.

When plugging in external monitor, all windows are moved to it, even if it is NOT the primary screen. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in external monitor

OBSERVED RESULT


Things are not working correctly, see above.

Indeed, however we need multiple bug reports for situations like this--one bug report per issue. See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#One_issue_per_Bugzilla_ticket. If you are still experiencing any of these issues in Plasma 5.22, can you file one bug report per issue? Thanks!
