SUMMARY

I use 2560x1440px screen on my notebook with scaling 2.0. When I plugin an external TV with 1920x1080 via HDMI and set the output to the external screen only, the displayed screen is fine. 

However, when I unplug the HDMI cable, the desktop panel and wallpaper have scaling issues, while all other applications still scale fine.

Please see the screenshots.

After you unplug the other screen and experience the bug, does it work again if you restart plasmashell with `plasmashell --replace`? If not, how about `kwin_x11 --replace`?

I will test it and report next will when I have access to a/the external monitor / TV again.
