Bug ID: 413174
Summary: 5.17 lost ability to detect plug in/off during a
session
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.17.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Multi-screen support
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: michal.dybc...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Before I could plug the HDMI cable and the secondary monitor showed up and the
option to choose what to with the screen was made active. When I unplugged the
cable, the option was grayed out and the monitor defaulted to its usual one
monitor setup.
After 5.17 update that is no longer true. When plugging in the secondary
monitor nothing happens. I must at least reload session but this produces
incredibly buggy effects so the real solution now is to REBOOT the system to
get the second monitor working.
The same issue is when I detach or turn off the secondary monitor. The system
still "thinks" the other monitor is on and providing output for it. The
multi-monitor options are active. Again, the reboot is the only real workable
solution now.
To sum up, a reboot is needed for proper detection of the additional monitor
was plugged in or off. Something is failing hard here. Again, reloading session
somewhat helps but produces incredibly buggy results so the issue somewhat
persists between sessions.
Together with other multi-monitor issues, Plasma 5.17 crippled the experience
seriously.
