Description Marcel 2015-08-20 16:15:13 UTC
I've got a multi monitor setup with 3 monitors.
20" + 24" + 20"
dvi + displayport + dvi
1600x1200 + 1920x1200 + 1600x1200
Using a Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 and 352.30 drivers.

I am NOT experiencing problems during working on my PC, no crashes no hangs or whatever.
What I am experiencing in a strange configuration scramble every now and then. It happens approx. every 7 to 10 days, that all my monitors show the same and have the same resolution and everytime I have to get to systemsettings configure it again and relogin to get my desktop back.

Because of this seldom occurences of this bug, I am not able to give deep insight into how this happens.

An additional hint: It may be that this relates to the problem of a crash of systemsettings after clicking 'apply' at the display preferences and trying to leave that particular configuration screen with 'back to systemsettings' button in the upper left corner. This *always* happens.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
There are no steps I know of. It happens directly after login, or it doesn't happen.

Actual Results:  
All monitors show the same output, all monitors have the same resolution (1600x1200) and I am able to scroll with my mouse over my otherwise standard desktop.

Expected Results:  
plasma shouldn't lose that configuration.

Linux 4.1.4-1-ARCH
If you need more information I've not thought of just let me know.

Apologies, looks like this is a different issue.

Are you still experiencing it with Plasma 5.22 or later?
