Created attachment 157607 [details] video of blank background SUMMARY Randomly, on login, I'll get a black background on one of my monitors that cannot be clicked or interacted with. The attached video should show what I'm talking about. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Log in 2. ??? OBSERVED RESULT - Instead of each desktop appearing on each display, both are shoved over to the same (in this case rightmost) display. My monitors are slightly ajar (one raised by 100px), and in the attached video you can see one (normally leftmost) background overlayed on the other (note the 100px difference). - I cannot left click or right click the leftmost background. - The panel/task manager on the otherwise blank screen can be interacted with. - Adjusting the display positions does not resolve the issue (attempting this cut off the recording, but trust me it does not work). EXPECTED RESULT Both desktops are contained within the proper displays and are interactable SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Arch Linux w/ KDE Plasma KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Kernel: 6.2.8-arch1-1 AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT Mesa: 23.0.0 (this has previously occurred on Mesa v22.x w/ plasma 5.27 as well) No /etc/X11/xorg.conf file Attached you will find: - A video showcasing the problem - journalctl output from when logging into the session (hostname and username scrubbed) - I'd continued with it like that for a few hours, in case you're wondering about the time difference

OMG! Is this by any chance an upgrade install from Plasma 5.26 or earlier? Or was the 5.27 install a clean install? When this happens, do both screens show up properly in System Settings > Display and Monitor?
This is an install upgraded from pre-5.26. After the recent overhaul I'd faced this *much* less frequently, but it still happens on occasion. They both showed under system settings, yes.
In fact, you can see that in the video I had attached.
Ok, so Plasma got confused and put the containment for the left screen on the right screen, along with another one. Weird. By any chance does this also happen on Wayland, or only X11? Also, can you paste the text in the [ScreenConnectors] section of your ~/.config/plasmashellrc file?
I've had similar issues occur on wayland, but I haven't looked through the kscreen output or anything for a true comparison. And for the config: [ScreenConnectors] 0=DP-2 1=HDMI-A-1 2=HDMI-0 3=DP-3 4=HDMI-1
Thanks for the info.
if you run `kscreen-doctor -o` in a terminal window, does it report that the screens are overlapping--even by one pixel? You'll need to compare their "geometry" values.

From my understanding that isn't an overlap, but touching on their edges like normal.
Ok, looks like there's no overlap. Thanks for the info.
Created attachment 158686 [details] screenshot of the bug I am seeing something similar, usually happens after login - mostly after resume from suspend i think. Half of my primary screen (display port) becomes black and non-interactable.

plasmashell 5.27.4 Same here since some weeks. After startup left screen is black. Right-Mouseclick on it, don't show any context... seems plasmashell is fully broken for it. I've made a little script to reload it... after running it, it work. But that is only an unsatisfying workaround. Hope it will be fixed soon. ``` #!/bin/bash killall plasmashell plasmashell > /dev/null 2>&1 & disown ```
Today it happened again, but during regular use. I was dragging a file from Dolphin and pressed Meta + D.

Another potential workaround is to power cycle the left most screen a few times until it gets back.
We think this issue may be fixed in Plasma 6 due to recent multi-screen work that's current master-only. Can I ask you to test in a Plasma 6 session? For example, with a Neon Unstable live session. Thanks a lot!
