Created attachment 145937 [details] A very simple drawing I made in Kolour Paint showing what happens with my desktop layout SUMMARY *** Very often when I launch Plasma for the first time after a boot, the window layout changes either drastically or slightly since the last time I used it, and Konsole is completely black when it should have transparency and blur effects. It can be "fixed" by doing a hard reboot or, in the case of konsole at least, log out and back in again. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have 3 displays or more connected (maybe one with higher resolution) 2. Place windows around the desktop 3. Reboot OBSERVED RESULT Layout completely changes for some windows and Konsole background goes completely black EXPECTED RESULT Layout should stay the same for all windows and Konsole should have effects working (transparency, blur, etc.) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.16.2-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX Vega ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is very similar to a bug when switching output on a display causing panels, windows, wallpapers, etc. to change, however that issue I solved by turning off kscreen2. This bug happens regardless if kscreen2 is on or off and only affects some windows and widgets, not panels or wallpapers.
Is it still an issue in 5.26?
(In reply to Vlad Zahorodnii from comment #1) > Is it still an issue in 5.26? Yes, I am currently on 5.26.5 and it's still an issue, however only layout was affected and I was able to completely counter this by killing the kscreen service after I had logged in. Today I did an update that once again brought back the black background and shifting layouts and I had to move to Wayland to get a more stable experience, however even with Kscreen killed it also shifts some windows around on Wayland (seems to only happen to GTK applications and only on the main display). Panels and wallpapers seems to be fine. I unfortunately didn't note what versions of the other KDE things I had before doing the update today, just that I was on Plasma version 5.26.5. I did the last update on the 15th of January 2023. This is what I have now: Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.7-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 580
