Description Keziolio 2016-04-01 23:57:37 UTC
I encountered all those glitches while putting one of my monitors in portrait (vertical) position, none of this was seen before with 3 landscape monitors

The problems are: (see the video for better understanding)

- The application launcher ("start menu") is not positioned correctly
- It's impossible to drag windows correctly, they hang at some point and resize/teleport randomly, making the desktop unusable
- Yakuake doesn't work
- I noticed also issues with the background in the vertical monitor (background being in landscape mode leaving a black space) but i couldn't reproduce after updating to 5.6.1 so *maybe* it's fixed
- I noticed also issues with the cursor size, it was changing its size randomly, i later forced it to the small  size, the change took effect after restarting

Another guy on irc had similar problems with a portrait monitor

I found a temporary fix, just changing an option on the screen settings and applying. But yakuake still doesn't work after. And it breaks again after logout/restart.

The problem is always reproducible here
