SUMMARY When creating a custom tiling layout, one of the zones consistently disappears after logout or restart. Zones are created using Meta+T, it works as expected during the session but one zone at the bottom of the secondary monitor in portrait mode always disappears after logout or restart. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a custom tiling layout. 2. Restart or logout. 3. Meta+T shows one zone missing from before restart. OBSERVED RESULT One zone at the bottom is missing. EXPECTED RESULT All 3 zones from before should be there. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora KDE 6.4.2 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm observing the same behavior, and it's also happening to my monitor in portrait mode. It's my leftmost monitor and I'm on plasma 6.4.1
Exact same situation here - left-hand portrait monitor constantly loses the tile layout, happening since KDE 6.4.x.
I too experience this. Same setup. Left hand portrait Monitor doesn't save tiling config. Also since 6.4.x

Git commit 9de61e188c6b583386a3734b7f51d3658b9fbf1c by Vlad Zahorodnii, on behalf of Hynek Schlindenbuch. Committed on 01/06/2026 at 07:22. Pushed by vladz into branch 'master'. tiles: fix incorrect split of single tile The bug could be reproduced like this: - Load the 3 column custom tiling layout. - Delete 2 of the columns. - Split the remaining column into top/bottom. - Reload kwin. - There is only one tile remaining. The issue was that the second tile was created as a sibling of the originally split tile (i.e. 2 tiles both with the root tile as parent), but the root tile's layout wasn't changed. So it remained horizontal and as a result it was saved incorrectly to JSON (2 horizontal tiles with width = 1, instead of 2 vertical tiles with height = 0.5). When the layout was loaded from the JSON, the second tile was dropped, because it didn't fit.
