Created attachment 147988 [details] Screenshot #1 Apologies in advance in case I filed this bug in the wrong place, in which case I appreciate your help in correcting this. SUMMARY In KDE Plasma, the wallpaper of a screen can be modified by right-clicking on the empty desktop, selecting "Configure Desktop and Wallpaper" from the context menu, and then choosing a new wallpaper to use as a background image for that particular screen. Apparently, a new feature (as of 5.24.4?) seems to be that the layout of the thumbnails of all available wallpaper images is now determined by the size of the respective screen. The size of the screen is however not determined by the properties of the screen whose wallpaper is being edited but rather by the properties of the screen that the "Configure Desktop and Wallpaper" is placed on. This does not affect which screen gets edited though. Attached are two screenshots from the same window, where in the second screenshot, the size/layout of the thumbnails updated in that moment where the window was dragged across the border between the two screens such that the centre of the window is now on the new screen. Essentially, this bug occurs because the ratio/properties of the screen taken to display the thumbnails was not obtianed from the screen that is being edited but rather from the screen of the window. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have at least two monitors of dissimilar aspect ratios/resolutions. 2. Right-click on monitor 1. Select "Configure Desktop and Wallpaper" 3. Now drag the window over to monitor 2. OBSERVED RESULT After 2: Observe how the thumbnails have the correct aspect ratio corresponding to the screen whose wallpaper you are trying to edit (provided the window opens on monitor 1). After 3: Observe how the thumbnail aspect ratio changes to adopt the resolution of monitor 2. EXPECTED RESULT The aspect ratio of the thumbnails does not change.
