Description Justin Zobel 2024-05-15 05:41:20 UTC

I have 2 monitors connected to my laptop via a USB-C dock, which is where I usually work. If I have applications for example konsole open on my monitors and I disconnect the dock, I can no longer access those windows.

It appears on my panel and I can minimise/restore it by clicking on it, but the window often doesn't ever appear on my laptop. Sometimes after a minimise/restore or two it will show, but in cases like currently I cannot access this window.

Even if I right-click on the konsole icon in the panel and try to move it, I get the move cursor, but the window is not there.

I can reproduce a similar issue, but only with NeoChat:

1. Have two screens, laptop on left, external screen on right, connected via HDMI through a USB-C dock.
2. Launch NeoChat, Discord, Telegram, and Thunderbird, and quick-tile them all to the left edge of the right screen
3. Unplug the USB-C dock

Discord, Telegram, and Thunderbird move to the laptop screen as expected.

NeoChat stays where it was, as if the external screen were still plugged in. If I minimize it, I see it's minimizing from its former position, which is now offscreen. When I un-minimize it, it un-minimizes to a position on the laptop screen, resolving the issue
