After plugging another monitor (doesn't matter if first time or a known screen) the panel will only respond to right click. And even then, the right click will ignore the "widget" and show the right click for the panel itself. (i.e. only shows the "add widget" and "Enter edit mode" in the menu) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Move panel to left of screen (i.e. vertical) 2. Attach another monitor (in extend screen mode) 3. easier to reproduce if it's a known secondary screen, to the top of the main one. OBSERVED RESULT No clicks on any of the panels work. Right click anywhere on the panel will show the few option menu as if rigth-clicking an empty panel area. Removing external screen doesn't solve the problem, still unresponsive. Things I cannot click: clock, quick launch icons, systemtray icons (wifi, battery, etc), launcher button. EXPECTED RESULT I could still click panel items. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux 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: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 30.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics Manufacturer: HP Product Name: HP EliteBook 845 14 inch G9 Notebook PC ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Workaround: right-click, enter edit mode, exit edit mode. Everything works again just fine. with or without external monitor attached.
I can reproduce this behavior on my system. My second monitor is on the right hand side and slightly higher. I made a screenrecording using kscreen-doctor to enable and disable the second screen. ( https://youtu.be/6ueSXKkY-Jo ) In the video you see the desktop's right click menu instead of the panel right click menu. #works kscreen-doctor output.DP-3.disable &> /dev/null #works kscreen-doctor output.DP-3.enable output.DP-3.position.2560,0 &> /dev/null #does not work kscreen-doctor output.DP-3.enable output.DP-3.position.2560,-38 &> /dev/null Depending on the Y-value, this amount of panel is unusable. In my case (-38) only the kicker is affected. This is only true for the Wayland session. When I run the X11 session and change the layout with xrandr, I can not reproduce it.
I anyone else is looking for a workaround: I run "plasmashell --replace &> /dev/null &" to reload the panels after enabling the second monitor.
I just updated to 6.0.4. I can no longer reproduce it. Seems fixed to me.
