Description Eduardo 2024-05-28 16:58:10 UTC
SUMMARY
Most of the time when I log in or connect / disconnect / connect a display, default folders that are displayed on desktop, move somewhere else - I mean they are supposed to be on primary display, but after login, they are not.
Sometimes for some activities, they are on primary display as they should be, sometimes they just appear on secondary display and sometimes they just vanish, however if they are not displayed I can get them back by using sort option, just change it from name to size and back or the like.

Laptop display resolution is 1080p, some additional displays I connect are 1080p (one at a time), then icons can move to different display.
I observed that if I connect 1080p and 1440p and disable built-in display, then icons vanish (most likely move up & out of sight on primary display). In display settings, displays are arranged to have tops aligned.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use activities (I have 10 of them and 2 virtual desktops), I don't know whether this is an issue with workspaces only
2. Put some stuff on desktop
3. Use the computer as one do (log in, connect display, disconnect display, suspend / resume, log out, log in, etc. like real life usage)

OBSERVED RESULT
Icons change their location or just vanish.

EXPECTED RESULT
Icons stay in the same place.

Is the problem that particular icons are misplaced or disappear or is the whole desktop being in the wrong screen? ie if you set a particular wallapper on a screen, does that wallpaper stay where is supposed to be?
Comment 2 Eduardo 2024-05-30 13:28:57 UTC
Icons move all together. I have the same wallpaper on every display, so I did not notice whether it changes or not.
Right now after connecting / disconnecting a display, wallpaper and icons stay put, I'll check when I log out and in next time or will connect different resolution display (I can't really log out and in for couple of days).
Comment 3 Eduardo 2024-06-03 12:34:36 UTC
My current observation is that when I log in and attach a display(s), every activity moves the icons to the right display except the one which are being displayed right when I log in.
Additionally, I don't know for sure whether this is universally true, but the activity which has different wallpaper on each of the display, does not have this bug - icons stay put. Strange.

Manjaro has not yet released 6.1 version, so this will need to wait a little.
