Yeah it seems like the GUI for this is terribly broken :(

> Yeah it seems like the GUI for this is terribly broken :(

yeah im using the 6.1 beta of my distro which is kinda pointless now but i was able to replicate the bug 
on the release files 6.0.5 as i have betas and normal version of my distros 

no doubt the new updates coming that have just been released 6.1 have the bug still init i bet 100%

do you know when the next beta is being released as i want to be on it?
forget staying on release file kde are so far behind i mean i yet to test the new updates but im sure it wouldnt have been fixed

There's no need to check other versions, it's not fixed in git master. KScreen doesn't see that much activity; to fix this I think the mirroring parts of the GUI really have to be rewritten.
