Description Levente Pál Szíjártó 2025-11-30 14:52:37 UTC
SUMMARY
I have multiple monitors: two horizontal ones in the middle, on top of each other, and a vertical one off to the left-hand side. My ‘bottom’ screen is used exclusively to display widgets – it seldom has windows, so I never put a panel on it and widgets extend to the very bottom of the screen.

Sometimes, when I wake the computer from sleep, all widgets on that screen get resized or displaced as if there was a panel taking up space at the bottom, even though there isn't.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create widgets that reach the display's bottom.
2. Put the computer to sleep.
3. Wake it back up.

OBSERVED RESULT
Widgets get rearranged, as if a panel was in the way.

EXPECTED RESULT
There is no panel on that screen, so I would expect widgets to stay put.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0
Qt Version: 6.10.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have attached screenshots before and after sleep, as well as a full system log from today, exported right after waking the computer and finding my widgets misaligned.

I was not able to attach the images, so I uploaded them here: https://imgur.com/a/m7hQowh.

Do any of the other screens have a panel that's roughly as tall/thick as the amount of space the widgets are being displaced by?

That's right. My main display has a panel in that spot.

Thanks, can reproduce.
