Description Marián Konček 2022-06-15 09:29:12 UTC
I am using a laptop and most of the time I am using 2-monitor setup with my primary monitor being the right one. When I disconnect the monitors and reconnect them, then my Icons-only Task Manager shows up on the left monitor and I have to drag it manually each time to the right.

I believe, the task manager should be reset to the monitor that is set as primary and not the leftmost one.
I don't know how this would work in Wayland where there is no option to set primary monitor.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux KDE Plasma

Can you upgrade to Plasma 5.25 when your distro offers it and see if the issue is fixed there? Thanks!
Comment 2 Marián Konček 2022-06-16 07:40:27 UTC
Tested again on a different laptop with KDE Plasma 5.25
KDE Frameworks: 5.94.0
QT: 5.15.3
(Current Fedora Rawhide)

It looks like the issue is still the same, however after attempting it with the newer one, I again plugged in the older one (the one the issue is reported for) and the icons-only task manager stayed on the right this time... I should add that I am using Thunderbolt
