Created attachment 180432 [details] pic1 SUMMARY When the monitor is turned off and on again, the desktop icons change their positions. This bug has been present since the first release of Plasma 6 and has still not been fixed. Initially, the desktop would expand, allowing you to scroll due to icon placement, but now the icons move completely at random. This issue is particularly frustrating as it can even be triggered by the screensaver. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Turn off monitor 2. Turn on monitor OBSERVED RESULT Desktop icons change their position EXPECTED RESULT Desktop icons stay in their position SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.12.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.6.85-2-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 15.5 GB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Problems: 1. 'plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc' does not update after a directory on the desktop has its name changed. It continues to show the previous name as another item. 2. After turning on the monitor, the positions of the desktop icons change, and the data in 'plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc' also updates. What I included: - Screenshots (pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4) - Videos (ev1, ev2, ev3, ev4, ev5) - When I turn off and on my monitor, you can hear a sound from Plasma (similar to disconnecting a device). - Changes in 'plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc' (edits) What I did: - Tested on a new account created in version 6.3.3 - Created a new account in version 6.3.4 Both accounts experienced the same problems. My thoughts: There seems to be an issue with maintaining the `plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc` file. The positions of the icons change, and perhaps the file is storing incorrect data that fails to update properly. ************ Evidence: 1. Changed the name of the directory from "lol" to "Items" but the entry for "lol" was still present in 'plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc' (pic1). (bug?) 2. Pic2 and pic3 show changes in 'plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc': - The first change occurred after moving one file from another directory to the desktop. - The second change occurred after creating two new files. I think those are normal. Videos: 1. ev1 - Shows the change in the position of files. However, 'plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc' was NOT edited by Plasma—it was just loaded (edit1)(strange). 2. ev2 - Demonstrates the removal of the section related to the no-longer-existing "lol" directory and the position change of icons. - Note how only 'new1.txt' changed its position. - Also, 'plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc' updated after turning on the monitor (edit2)/(pic4). 3. ev3 - Added several new files, causing 'plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc' to update (edit3). - The video shows the icons' positions changing, and the 'plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc' file also updating (edit4). 4. ev4 - Several files were deleted, and the 'plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc' file updated; however, the problem persisted. 5. ev5 - Additional video evidence. 6. ev6 - Shows a brand-new account (created on 6.3.4) experiencing the same symptoms (edit-new-account).
