SUMMARY The new/updated screen configuration in KDE Frameworks 6.15.0 / Plasma 6.4.0 comes with a usability issue when I want to position the screens in a multi-monitor setup. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open the system settings -> screen configuration (german: "Anzeige-Einrichtung") 2. try to position the screens (using drag&drop) OBSERVED RESULT I have to click "Edit Arrangement" first, which is annoying EXPECTED RESULT The screen position should be editable without the additional click. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS openSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION On the positive side: I really like that the list of screens is now at the top (instead of the dropdown we had before).
Thanks for your feedback. I'm pretty sure this was an intentional design decision, to make it more difficult to accidentally drag and drop screens unintentionally. I'll let the developers respond.
That's right, it was indeed an intentional design change. Re-arranging your screens is a rare event, and we wanted to make it harder to do by accident and also preserve more space for the settings below.
> Re-arranging your screens is a rare event I tend to disagree - this is usually the first thing I do after attaching a(nother) screen (and attaching a(nother) screen is basically the only reason to open this dialog for me). In comparison, I rarely change the resolution or refresh rate. Following the "rare event" logic, locking these by default would make sense. I won't reopen this feature request, but nevertheless - please reconsider if locking the screen positioning by default is really a good idea.
