SUMMARY Restarting plasmashell fixes this issue, switching from "Folder view" to "Desktop" and back also fixes the issue. Changing any icon sorting settings doesn't do anything. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have some icons on your desktop 2. Wait some time or put your laptop to sleep? OBSERVED RESULT Icons will disappear. EXPECTED RESULT They stay there. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2 and before maybe since 5.27 Beta? KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Both X.org and Wayland. Multi-monitor setup: laptop + external screen, laptop screen is off. IIRC I don't have this issue with only the laptop screen. Also this may not be a Folder view issue.

Eek. There's a chance this *might* have been fixed with the fix for Bug 464873, which will be released with Plasma 5.27.3 in a week. So if we haven't figured the issue out by then, it would be great if you could upgrade to 5.27.3 once it's released and re-test.
FWIW I cannot reproduce the issue with the upcoming 5.27.3 when I put my laptop to sleep while connected to an external HDMI screen.
In case this is caused by corrupted config files, what files could be the culprit?
Matej, can you reproduce the issue in Plasma 5.27.4 which was just released? It has an additional change relevant to this use case.

I am no longer using a multi monitor setup and since no one else is having this issue I am letting it go into WORKSFORME.
