Thank you for the bug report! Please note that Plasma 5.25.5 is not supported for much longer by KDE; supported versions are 5.24, and 5.26 or newer. If at all possible please upgrade to a supported version and verify that the bug is still happening there. Ultimately this is a basically unfixable bug caused by the current mapping system being broken by design. It should be fixed once we move to a better system. See Bug 450068. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 450068 *** I read the bugreport you linked. Are you sure this is really a duplicate of that? In that report I read: "Wallpaper/tablet settings are restored to default". One thing is losing some custom configuration, one other thing is a malfunctioning system, missing background and missing context menu that can only be fixed by rebooting or restarting plasmashell. Please note that I did not read the entire thread, I'm just asking for a confirmation. I also sometimes see that the background is restored to default, that is a different, less relevant issue. It's ultimately the same issue. The system forgot that your screen had a containment on it, so you see nothing, just a black background. You can't right-click on it because that functionality is provided by the Plasma containment, which has gone missing. Fixing 450068 is the only reliable way to prevent this kind of thing from happening ever again. |
