I should have been more clear about the hardware.   I have dual monitors, both AW3225QF, both on the same FW and both connected via DP 1.4.

Thanks for the bug report. I'm not immediately able to reproduce this on Plasma 6.5.2 or built from git-master, but I suspect this is dependent on some detail about the displays.

Can you please run this and copy the output into this report?

kscreen-doctor -o

Thanks!
