Created attachment 169500 [details] Shows the problem in a drawing. SUMMARY When using dual monitors and one monitor is disabled, sleep/wake up (no password) changes the desktop icons location. Very often vertically-aligned icons become horizontally-aligned, or sometimes they were kept vertical, but some of them moved randomly. When no monitors are disabled, it did not seem to happen. Please see the attachment for illustration. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Disable a secondary monitor. 2. Arrange icons vertically at the left side, like Window's default desktop icons. 3. Sleep 4. Wake it up (no password when waking up) OBSERVED RESULT Icons positions change EXPECTED RESULT Icons remain where they were before sleep. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Created attachment 169501 [details] Illustration of the problem Previous image was .SVG with transparent background which made the white text (LibreOffice's default text colour in dark theme) illegible, so I created a new image with black background.
I have tried "context menu -> Icons -> Locked", but the icons still got rearranged horizontally anyway. KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 Kernel Version: 6.8.9-arch1-2 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Arc The sizes/scaling values of the two monitors are different; and the main monitor's scaling is 160%.
Thank you for the bug report! I'm merging this into the general tracker bug for desktop icons repositioning themselves in multi-monitor setups. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 468546 ***
