SUMMARY I'm have 4 displays attached to my GPU: 3x Displayport for the screens in my office and 1x HDMI with a long cable to the TV in the next room. (So I can watch movies, play games in the living room in the evening) When working on my PC I deactivate the HDMI screen as I can't see the TV and don't want to have windows, mouse etc "vanish" to a different room. But when leave the PC for a break and return with the session locked and the displays put into sleep, and unlock the session, the screen/desktop configurations are completely messed up. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run Plasmashell Wayland with 4 screens (haven't tested with 3 or 2, but might work as well) 2. Configure backgrounds, control bar etc. to your liking 3. Deactivate one screen in the System Settings (4->3 screens (or 3->2 screens or 2->1 screen)) 4. Let the Screen Lock activate and the Screens go to sleep (Energy Savings Settings) 5. Make some inputs on the PC to wake the screens up and unlock the session OBSERVED RESULT The Desktop is not restored to its state before locking/screens turned off. The screens and their configuration might be shifted to different physical displays or completely missing. Running "plasmashell --replace &" in the terminal does restore the correct configuration. When all screens are activated, the correct desktop configuration is always restored. EXPECTED RESULT Even when screens are turned off, the configured desktop layout should be restored.

See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467422#c8, which was caused by a bad DP->HDMI cable. But in the case you're only using DP->DP and HDMI->HDMI cables, right? Also has echoes of Bug 462316 and Bug 469192.
Yeah, 3x DP<->DP cables and 1x HDMI<->HDMI cable. Also, all screens work 100% fine when they are enabled. And it also works fine when all screens are activated in the System Settings.
Thanks!
can you compare with plasma6? (for instance with a neon unstable live image) to see if the issue still happens there, it would help narrowing the issue

(for instance with a neon unstable live image) > to see if the issue still happens there, it would help narrowing the issue Tested on live image kde neon unstable from 2023-09-07 Partially broken: The desktop icons auto-aligned, but animations works fine After unlocking got 3 plasmashell crashreports and all cannot be generated.
Ok, thanks for testing! But it sounds like those are different issues from what was originally reported here, though. We'd like to know if Malte is able to reproduce the issue in Plasma 6.

Sorry, didn't have time to come back to this issue until now. I've just tested with the neon-unstable-20231015-1119 build and can confirm that the problem still exists with latest Plasma 6, so reopening.
I'm sorry we weren't able to get to this report until now. Are you still seeing this bug with Plasma 6.4.2 or later? Thanks.
