SUMMARY The multi-monitor layout is different each login on Wayland. This affects a number of related settings: position, size (zoom), desktop background, panel configuration etc. The cause appears to be the name assignment in `~/.config/plasmashellrc`. First login: [ScreenConnectors] 0=eDP-1 1=DP-8 2=DP-9 Second login: [ScreenConnectors] 0=eDP-1 1=DP-6 2=DP-7 On my system, the laptop screen (eDP-1) is always screen 0. The other displays are the same physical displays on the same physical ports, but the DP-n number changes each time. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Login to Wayland and configure screen layout 2. Logout + reboot 3. Login to Wayland OBSERVED RESULT The screen layout has changed EXPECTED RESULT The screen layout is the same SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2+kde294 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The laptop has hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics. The Intel UHD graphics drive the primary laptop display, the external monitors are connected via a Thunderbolt dock, which is routed via the Nvidia chip. This may be related to bug 427278 - although that was for X11 & VNC, and is resolved.
This was supposed to be fully finally fixed in Bug 427278. I guess there's at least one edge case we missed. :(
