Connect an external monitor 2. Choose to mirror the existing display on the OSD that appears with various display options 3. Trigger the 'present windows on current desktop' effect (I do this through a screen edge) OBSERVED RESULT No windows are shown, just an empty desktop EXPECTED RESULT Windows should be shown in the 'present windows' effect SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.6.49-1-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx Memory: 21.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 20NES02N00 System Version: ThinkPad E495 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A.
