What is the native resolution of your monitor, and can you share a screenshot of the screen settings page with its resolution drop-down open?

The physical screen resolution is 2560x1080@60.00 and could be set after an additional file 10-ultrawide.conf was placed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with the additional Modeline for the physical resolution (see link in previous post).

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please see if you can reproduce the issue with Plasma 5.25 or 5.26 when not using that custom xorg conf snippet?

If you can, please change the status to CONFIRMED when replying. Thanks a lot!
