Hi I usually don't complain I don't like to complain but this has happened literally every time I have turned on my computer for the past 2 weeks and it's gotten really annoying. Whenever I turn my computer on or wake it up after using the "systemctl suspend" command, it either takes all the folders files and icons from my main center screen, and moves them to my left most screen, or it just takes all the folders files and icons from all my screens and moves them to the left most screen. And just dragging them back is never the answer, I instead have to right click on each screen, go to desktop and wallpaper and change the layout from already being set to folder view, to desktop view and then back to folder view and that's the only way it let's me move my stuff back to the other screens. I thought that enabling the icon lock setting would prevent that but it didn't. Yesterday alone I reorganized my files 3 times. If there is some auto config setting I can disable or some file that doesn't work properly that I can delete, I'd love to know about it because dealing with this every day, sometimes multiple times, is really annoying. I'm not mad at anyone in particular and I'm thankful for the effort everyone has put forward to KDE and Plasma for helping the linux community.
