Description Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2016-07-04 12:10:25 UTC 
My computer has 2 video outputs: VGA and HDMI.

I was using both, then switched to just using one screen, over the VGA output, which had a panel.

Then I changed the cable in order to use the HDMI output rather than the VGA, using the same screen.

The panel is gone.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have 2 screens, VGA and HDMI
2. Use both, and place a panel on the VGA one
3. Use only the VGA one
4. Switch to use HDMI only

Actual Results:  
Panel disappears

Expected Results:  
Panel doesn't disappear
Comment 1 Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2016-07-04 12:17:44 UTC 
It appears that the panel is merely invisible, because the plasmoid counter indicates that I already have running instances of them, which can't be removed in any way.
Comment 2 Alexander Mentyu 2018-03-05 12:29:15 UTC 
Can you reproduce it currently?
Comment 3 Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2018-03-05 16:15:20 UTC 
I no longer have that machine with that video output described.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2022-06-25 17:25:02 UTC 
I guess we can't debug any further then, sorry.
