SUMMARY In my 3-screen setup, the panel and desktop icons do not appear on the screen marked "Primary." Additionally, setting a different screen as primary has inconsistent results. The panel may move, or the icons, but not to the selected screen. Sometimes one screen also loses its wallpaper and icons, and all windows on that screen are resized to minimum height. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set up multiple screens 2. Change screen to "Primary" 3. Panel and icons may or may not move OBSERVED RESULT Panel and icons are on non-primary screen EXPECTED RESULT Panel and icons are on primary screen SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20220310 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.16.11-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 x AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 14.8 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD RENOIR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Prior to today, I had not recorded the behavior. Hardware is a ThinkPad T14s with Lenovo workstation dock. Monitor A is on the left and is 1920x1080. Monitor B is on the right and is 2560x1440. Monitor C is below B and is 1920x1080. A and B are connected to the dock, C is USB-C. The login screen is duplicated across all screens. If I log in on screen B, icons follow primary, but there is no panel. If I log in on A or C, here is the behavior I observed. * B is primary * Icons on B, panel on C * Set A to primary * Icons move to A, panel stays on C * Set C to primary * Icons move to C, panel moves to A * Set B to primary * Icons move to B, panel stays on A * Set C to primary * Icons move to C, panel stays on A * Set A to primary * Icons move to A, panel moves to C * Set B to primary * Icons move to B, panel stays on C * Disconnect C * Icons stay on B, panel disappears * Reconnect C * Panel reappears on C * Set C to primary * Icons move to C, panel moves to B but then switches to A * Disconnect C * Icons and panel both disappear * Undock (disconnect A and B) * Icons move to laptop screen, no panel * Dock (reconnect A and B) * Laptop screen is primary, icons on laptop screen, no panel * Close laptop * B is primary, no icons, no panel * Reconnect C * C is primary, icons on C, panel on B * Set B to primary * Icons move to B, panel moves to C * Set C to primary * Icons move to C, panel moves to B * Set A to primary * Icons move to A, panel stays on B * Set B to primary * Icons move to B, panel moves to A * Set A to primary * Icons move to A, panel moves to B * At this point, I did a bunch of things and didn't record every step. * Disconnected C, undocked, laptop had no icons or panel * Reconnected only C, no icons or panel on either * Redocked, panel was on A (maybe icons too, I don't remember) * Set B to primary * Icons move to B, panel moves to B, C is black. No wallpaper or icons or panel. * Delete panel * Disconnect C, undock * Icons on laptop, no panel (was deleted) * Create new openSUSE panel * Customize panel * Redock, reconnect C * B is primary, icons on C, panel on C * Set C as primary * Icons stay on C, panel moves to B * I give up.
I'm no longer experiencing this behavior as of 5.24.3-1.2 from the openSUSE Tumbleweed repo.
