I found out in the intervening time that this issue can be avoided completely by getting to the login screen without the external monitor plugged in. Plugging it in after the login leads to everything working as expected. I don't think this is a Plasma/KScreen bug. Probably a kernel or userspace driver bug. Because one can check xrandr and replugging will result in increment in the port number. (In reply to Ongun Kanat from comment #2) > I don't think this is a Plasma/KScreen bug.

It may indeed be an issue with the kernel or with the userspace driver, but the issue was not present before Plasma 5.19 and this is what has led me to file the bug here.

The outputs before unplugging the dock
Sorry for the delayed response. Due to many hardware issues with my T14, I stopped using Linux as my main desktop OS. I booted my system and noticed the bug again and remembered this bug report so I decided to test it properly.
Hardware info: Thinkpad T14 AMD Gen 1 and Thinkpad USB-C dock Gen 2
This is definitely not a KDE / KWin / KScreen bug. To be sure, I decided to use a completely different software stack to test it. I used a wlroots based Wayland compositor, Wayfire [1]. With wlr based compositors, one can use wlr-randr utility in a similar way to xrandr. As it can be seen in the attachments the port organization changes after unplugging and replugging the dock.
