SUMMARY *** When lowering the resolution of any display, the screen gets "squished" to 50% the monitor's height. My monitor setup consists of 3 monitors with mixed resolutions (1920x1080, 2560x1440, 1920x1080). I also tried switching a display to vertical mode and it got squished from the sides rather than top and bottom (still 50% height of the monitor) *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set up multiple displays 2. Go to System Settings > Display and Monitor > Display Configuration 3. Lower the resolution of one display (aspect ratio does not seem to matter) OBSERVED RESULT Width of the display covers the entirety of the monitor while the height gets "squished" down to 50% the height of the monitor. EXPECTED RESULT Resolution should be properly scaled to the monitor.

Does it also happen in the Wayland session?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Does it also happen in the Wayland session? No, Wayland seems fine on that regard.
Please run `qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation` after changing the screen resolution while the screen is squashed and post the output here. Can you also share a screenshot? What if you restart kwin after changing screen resolution?

Created attachment 155933 [details] Picture of the affected screen showing the "squish"
Sorry for the paste, I was in a rush and didn't check how long it was or the warning. If you have the power to remove the long comment, please do. I seem to not be able to remove or edit it. Pastebin here: https://pastebin.com/vkVmGw1p Screenshot shows as normal, but I took a picture with my phone.
Does the screen look normal after restarting kwin?
