stdout of $ WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 qtdiag

SUMMARY

I have a laptop connected to an external monitor, and when I choose the Wayland session, the desktop is shifted halfway down the screen. The mouse is visible and can move everywhere, but clicks are registered with a vertical shift.

Comment 2 David Edmundson 2019-03-01 03:19:45 UTC
Log claims we only have one screen a dell sized 2048, 1152.

What should it be?
Comment 3 Vishnu 2019-03-01 05:10:04 UTC
What do those numbers mean? That should be the monitor. It is 25" and 1440p.

The laptop screen probably doesn't show up because I have it disabled in the Settings, when I use this monitor. It is 14" and 1080p.

pixel resolution
Comment 5 Vishnu 2019-03-01 12:25:19 UTC
Oh, another thing; even though I'm using a 1440p monitor, I have the Display settings set to 1920x1080 (so that I don't have to scale; and this laptop can't really handle 1440p very well)
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2021-03-04 21:07:16 UTC
Are you still experiencing this with Plasma 5.21?
Comment 7 Vishnu 2021-03-05 02:58:41 UTC
Nope; not anymore. This stopped being an issue long ago. I forget what version. Sorry, I should've reported it here when that happened.
