Description Alex Dănilă 2023-06-12 17:12:53 UTC 
SUMMARY
Upon connecting and disconnecting displays on a laptop, the displays get mixed and panels jump around. 

Initial situation with xrandr:
- eDP-1 connected 1920x1080+0+324 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
- VGA-1 connected 2048x1152+4480+288 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm
- HDMI-1 connected primary 2560x1440+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 527mm x 296mm
In "Panels and desktop management" appears ordered as: HDMI-1, VGA-1, eDP-1 (with taskbar panel).

Disconnecting the display at HDMI-1 will mix the ordering in the desktop management: VGA-1, eDP-1 (taskbar panel is missing), Disconnected Screen 3 (with panel). 

Same will happen if I disconnect VGA-1.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect 2 external displays to a laptop, extending them to the right
2. Put a default panel on the integrated display
3. Disconnect one of the displays and notice that the desktops are reordered in "Panels and Desktops Management", with the panel no longer on the integrated display.

Sorry it took us so long to get to this. I don't have three monitors handy, but I can't reproduce it with two monitors in current git master, which will shortly become Plasma 6.3. Are you still able to reproduce the issue in Plasma 6.2.5 or later? Thanks!
