SUMMARY I have a 5120x2160 monitor and a jetkvm(1080) in mirroring. The custom layout of the jetkvm is over the monitor layout. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Easiest to test with ultrawide(Primary) and not ultrawide(Replica of) with diffent layouts 2. Try to move a window to the various tiles with shift key OBSERVED RESULT Primary screens tiles are covered by replica's layout EXPECTED RESULT Replica's layout should be disabled.

With > The custom layout of the jetkvm is over the monitor layout and > a 1080p as a mirror shifted to the left (from bug 481222), do you mean that you're overlapping the two screens, rather than using the "replica of" option? Iow, please attach the output of > kscreen-doctor -o with both screens connected.

Created attachment 190876 [details] kscreen-doctor output The screens are different aspects. The primary is a ultrawide, 5120x2160 and the jet is standard 1920x1080. As to the question, using a "replica of" or not doesn't affect the end result.
FTR, screens overlapping rather than replicating one another is not a supported configuration and expected to cause problems. > As to the question, using a "replica of" or not doesn't affect the end result. The letterboxing alone should make a large difference. What version of Plasma are you on now? Also, please set one of the screens to replicate the other, and get the output of wayland-info and attach its output here.

Ok, so today when I went to turn it back on as the layout being screwy was problematic, I realized the "replica of" setting seemed to be broken. I edited the layout and tried again and it wouldn't take then started complaining about the replica having a negative number. When I got it working, it was letterboxed. It has never been letterboxed 1 time before this when I have tried before. I attached the output.
That looks alright, with only one output. With that, there are no issues with the tiling editor, right? > I realized the "replica of" setting seemed to be broken. I edited the layout and tried again and it wouldn't take then started complaining about the replica having a negative number Negative number, as in negative position? We worked around an issue like that already, but the code for the settings page is in really bad shape, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were more issues :/

I basically ended up enabling, then disabling a few times. Then it worked. One time Settings claim the Replica Of was enabled when the screen was showing a dual monitor setup up and enabled a dual monitor setup.
Alright, so this bug report itself is a dup of 481222. If you find reproducible steps for triggering any mirroring issues in the display settings, please open a bug report for kscreen and cc me. Otherwise, for 6.8 I plan to rewrite a bunch of the KScreen code (when we can just delete all the X11-specific stuff), so it will hopefully be more reliable in general then.
