SUMMARY When using multiple monitors, after unlocking after the energy saving timeout all the open windows are moved to the primary monitor even if they were in the secondary before the lock. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. wait for the monitors to go off 2. press a key to show the unlock screen and type password OBSERVED RESULT When the session is back all the windows re-arranged in the primary monitor. Also, applications in full screen in both monitors cannot see the second monitor again. EXPECTED RESULT When the session is back all the windows are where they were before locking (including the secondary monitor). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian bullseye 5.10.0-5-amd64 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This does not happen if I use Win+L to lock and then unlock before the monitor power saving timeout kicks in.
If your primary monitor by any chance not the left-most one?
You are right: I have 2 monitors: my primary is on the right and the secondary is on the left. That because I have an all-in-one so I cannot really change the primary I believe.
Yup, I thought so. It's an annoying known issue. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 427875 ***
