That gap between screens looks suspicious. However this use case is working for me. Let's see if we can rule out hardware issues or software bugs; can you try this in a new clean user account and see if it still happens as described? Thanks!

On a new user it works fine, I tried setting the same displays layout and scaling factor but it still worked. I also tried disabling the ICC profile on my main user without reboot, but it didn't help. I remember it working right after update to Plasma 6.0.1, but some time later it stopped working (I don't remember if any updates happened right before it stopped working) BTW, the main GPU is 'AMD Renoir [Radeon RX Vega 6 ]' If it's working in a new user account, then there is some invalid config in your main user account that's causing this. If you move aside ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json (don't delete it), reboot, and replicate the setup, does the problem go away?

The original config was migrated from Plasma 5 installation 1y+ old. If it will be helpful here are the old and new configs just in case: new: https://pastebin.com/aBd0Wwzb old: https://pastebin.com/wR00YU1F |
