SUMMARY Hey there, I have two 4k displays connected via Displayport, one is rotated by 90 degrees, the other one is my main display. It happened multiple times already that after turning off both displays and on again, the icons I ordered manually on my workspace rearrange themselves, appending icons in a second / third etc. road after the first one. I have similar issues when changing the display resolution to something smaller than the icons need to be displayed (e.g. when starting games for the first time at low resolution, which should be another issue, but might get solved here as well). My guess is that the PC forgets about the displays and when reconnected, arranged the icons again, changing the order. (just a guess though, but I see my display flickering beforehand). This issue might get solved by saving the icon layout and, if the resolution changes / displays get disconnected and reconnected, the icon layout is restored, if no changes have been made to them in the meantime. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0. Arrange icons on workspace manually in multiple rows 1. Turn off display connected via DP 2. Turn it on again 3. Observe OBSERVED RESULT Icons are rearranged EXPECTED RESULT Previous layout should be kept SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 21.10 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Should any logs or additional information be required, I'd be happy to help!
Mose of the code here has changed to improve multimonitor use-cases in Plasma 5.27. Any chance you can upgrade to that version and see if the issue is fixed now?
