Description Guido 2022-05-23 09:21:18 UTC
SUMMARY
***
Very often, but not always, when I start the session with an external monitor attached (so that it is the main only active monitor) the desktop background appears black, notifications appear in the middle of the screen and krunner on the left. By restarting only Plasmashell (kquitapp5 plasmashell; kstart5 plasmashell) everything returns to normal.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. configure the external screen as the only and main screen
2. restart the session

OBSERVED RESULT
the desktop background appears black, notifications appear in the middle of the screen and krunner on the left
