SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
I have a big 4k display and a smaller FHD display on the right side.
Trying out Plasmas Wayland capabilities, i've set the scaling of the 4k display to 125% while the smaller on the right side remains at 100%.
When i now logout from the Wayland session and re-login using X11, both displays are "overlapping" somehow and i can't manage to separate them from each other.
The settings show that the display should be separated but in fact they aren't.
I guess that has something to do with the fractional scaling settings from the Wayland session that confuse Xorg.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login using the Wayland session
2. Set the scaling of the 4k display to 125%, leave the other display at 100%.
3. Re-login with XOrg

OBSERVED RESULT
Both displays overlap as shown in the screenshot that I attached.

EXPECTED RESULT
This shouldn't happen.

Can also confirm this issue. When moving from wayland to x11 if scaling is used overlapping will be constant problem until you go back to wayland session and remove scaling and log back into x11 session.
