On wayland, when I connect an external display, often the wallpaper "crashes" and only a black background is shown. The panel and other plasmashell components work just fine. I cannot right-click the desktop to bring up the menu. Restarting plasma brings it back, but sometimes you need to click on the black to show the image, and then unfocusing the desktop makes it show black again. Eventually it goes back to normal. Layout: Folder View Wallpaper type: Image Positioning: Scaled and cropped Image: in home folder
How many screens do you have? How many graphics cards do you have? Intel, AMD or Nvidia?
I have a laptop screen and one external display connected via HDMI. When connecting the external display, I disable the laptop display. The graphics card is the iGPU of a Ryzen 4500U, a Renoir Vega GPU. I'm using the AMDGPU driver.

I have Ryzen 4700u and also an HDMI output, but I can never reproduce the bug on X11 or Wayland before.
What's the installed versions of qt5-wayland and qt5-base?
(In reply to Fushan Wen from comment #4) > What's the installed versions of qt5-wayland and qt5-base? qt5-wayland 5.15.6+kde+r49-1 qt5-base 5.15.6+kde+r177-1 I'm on Manjaro testing.
Does the same bug also exist on X11?
No, never saw it on X11.
Can you indicate what's your primary output before and after hotplugging the output?
I'm not sure how much detail you're asking for, but the primary output before plugging in the monitor is the built-in display (1080p), and after it's the external display (1440p connected via USB-C) since the built-in display is disabled. Apologies if you were asking for something else/more.
I encountered the same issue on X11 from time to time. But it usually happened after I unlock the screen. Arch Linux w/ latest Plasma 5.25.5. Intel + NVIDIA dual screen. NVIDIA card is the primary GPU.
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?
