Comment 1 My2ndAngelic 2024-04-24 08:10:54 UTC
On the other hand, I tested this with the Display Configurator on the System Tray and it works normally. So the Meta+P OSD does not work for some reasons.
Comment 2 Mildred Ki'Lya 2024-06-28 01:09:34 UTC
You can make it work with the arrow keys though
Comment 3 Tomas Hula 2025-03-14 18:36:24 UTC
I also have this issue, pressing Meta+P opens the dialog, but selecting anything (either mouse or keyboard) just closes the popup and does nothing.
I have my displays connected to my laptop via a Dock station connected with USB-C. If the monitor is connected directly with HDMI, it works as intended.

Just a small interesting point. On Siduction, a Debian SID-based distro, with Plasma 6.3.4 but still KDE Frameworks 6.11.0, it's working:

Unfortunately no. Now, the popup does not even show with direct HDMI.

Plasma 6.3.4, Meta+P stopped showing dialog at all. Manually interacting with displays through system settings works fine

That's a separate issue that hould be fixed in 6.3.5.

Is anyone else still able to reproduce the original issue in Plasma 6.3.5 or later? Or even better, the Plasma 6.4 beta?

In my case it is fixed with 6.3.5
Comment 11 Mike 2025-05-22 23:10:01 UTC
Confirm. 6.3.5 work fine.
Comment 12 John Kizer 2025-05-23 03:23:26 UTC
Great! For the original reporter (My2ndAngelic), are you able to confirm that the issue is no longer occurring with Plasma 6.3.5?
Comment 13 My2ndAngelic 2025-06-03 18:20:28 UTC
Yes, I can confirm that it works as expected in KDE 6.3.5
Comment 14 Nate Graham 2025-06-03 18:26:49 UTC
Great, thanks folks!
