SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** Not sure how to explain this accurately, but here goes: Often times when I wake my system from suspend, my monitors mirror each other instead of extending. Nothing fix them at all, no rebooting or anything else does, until I discovered(by accident/luck) that they sit on top of each other in the display & monitor settings. I tried dragging the monitor in the settings and there it is, the other monitor sitting underneath it. Then just put them next to each other like they are in the real world and then hit "Apply" and it worked. This happens on both wayland and X11. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have more than one monitor 2. suspend and wake up the machine OBSERVED RESULT Monitors in Display & monitors setting sit on top of each other causing the monitors to mirror each other instead of extending EXPECTED RESULT Monitors should not mirror on their own by sitting on top of each other in the settings SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.8.1-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 580 Series Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

After you move the screens so they're not overlapping anymore, does it thereafter continue to work? Or do they somehow get overlapped/mirrored again in the future?

It doesn't happen every single time lately, probably every 3rd or 4th time, and it's a simple fix, as I just need to get into the settings and move the monitors next to each other and apply and keep changes
Thanks. Does this happen on Wayland too, or only X11?

Oh, sorry for missing that. Can you comment on the hardware setup? desktop vs laptop, how are the monitors connected, what are their makes, models, resolutions, etc.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > Oh, sorry for missing that. > > Can you comment on the hardware setup? desktop vs laptop, how are the > monitors connected, what are their makes, models, resolutions, etc. I have a desktop PC (info below). Two 27" 4k monitors, a Dell and a Sceptre. Dell is connecting via a DP and the other one HDMI. From var/log/Xorg.0.log: Monitor name: DELL P2715Q Sceptre is not being fully detected, but the model is there and it is u27 There are a ton of other info. Please let me know what you are looking for in particular and I will get it for you.

Could you please advise on what else I'd need to provide? Thanks
Please (on Wayland) attach your ~/.config/kwinoutputconfig.json, once when things are working correctly and once when the screens are mirrored. Also the output of "kscreen-doctor -o" in both situations could help.

Also > the output of "kscreen-doctor -o" in both situations could help. I haven't had this issue ever since 6.1, so I don't think the logs are needed anymore? Unless you still need the ones when things are working correctly, then let me know and I will get them for ya.
If the problem is already gone, that's great too of course :) If it happens again, just reopen and add the requested info then
