Hi - just to check, when that function was working correctly, did it trigger an on-screen display that let you choose from switching displays, mirroring, or extending?

Thanks!

Yes, before upgrade an on-screen display appears,.
Thanks

Thanks! This looks like an issue that's been discovered and has a fix on the way in Plasma 6.3.5, then!
