Description Alexandre 2023-09-05 13:54:45 UTC
SUMMARY
I currently have the following specs and the issue. Step to reproduce are the same i.e.:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot with more than one external monitor one in USB C and one over HDMI
2. Lock the computer, let it go into sleep
3. Wake up and unlock

OBSERVED RESULT
Current setup is the following:
- eDP-1 (disabled)
- DP-1 (main, does not get disturbed)
- HDMI-A-1 (second, gets into black background with no context menu and shadows other virtual desktop windows as background if I have windows drag onto it)

EXPECTED RESULT
The monitor over HDMI does not got black and retains its background along with normal usage.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The screen goes black and disrupts windows that have been put into it. These windows often go to the other screen that has not been affected. I often have only one window left on the zombie screen but I cannot say for that this happens all the time. It also disrupts bismuth in the way that windows get untitled when moved to the main screen after the cold restart. When I proceed to move windows back and then change virtual desktops I can see these windows as background, although glitching.

Let me know if you needs logs or any other information. Also let me know if I should open this as a new issue

Does the problem resolve itself if you restart plasmashell with `plasmashell --replace` in a terminal window? If so, this is Bug 450435.
