--- Comment #344 from Michael Butash <mich...@butash.net> --- No, this is another problem I have however. How related, who knows but different issues. KDE display settings is also a basketcase for me, particularly at 4k resolutions, as they don't retain resolution, placement, or hz settings often with any change to the displays, particularly when using a large-scale hdmi tv as a display. These sorts of "soft" changes just drive KDE batty, though. The original issue is more about how it deals with windows placements during resolution shifts. KDE for years would enrage me during display changes, even so much as powering them down for the evening, and moving all my displays to the right-most window all in a corner, where this began from. I'd spend the first 10 minutes of my day just moving stuff around and back to where I wanted them. The worst thing lately with state changes between power-off and power-on, it will pick a random framebuffer window, and smash windows on that display against them shorter than the whole 11520x2160 FB, then KDE starts "eating" my windows when I move them. Only on the 3rd display, but if I move a window on it, it disappears. I cannot restore the window, it's just gone whether I minimize or normalize. If I maximize it, it comes back on the 2nd display fully (3840-7680) as a full screen, but minimising to the 3rd display at like a half-boundry at a 1500x200 display window on the 3rd screen (7610-11520), often at a 1500x1 display, that I have to expand again from there by dragging a side. If I move it, it freaks out again same way. KDE just does so much weird resolution things it seems entirely dysfunction with handling. Nothing ever reports errors, so there's nothing I can report unfortunately, it just does weird crap nothing seems to care about. I can reproduce this with my displays, run through a Thunderbolt3 dock and a couple of samsung HD tv's as displays. If I detach the TB3 port first, then shut down the displays, it behaves fine, *usually* restoring the displays just fine. If I shut down the TV's first (power off with remote), then disconnect the docks, which I do accidentally occasionally, it fubar's everything, and I get the weird windowing behavior on the 3rd window. No idea where to even look here, journalctl, /var/log entities, dmesg, nothing indicates a fault. Maybe loosely related, but I don't know. Only reason I still care here is I complain about this stuff *still* happening for half a decade with multi-monitor displays, and no one gets it. Now moving on to Wayland, I expect the same atrocities, but worse starting over again. Probably need to fix the old xorg implementation and problems before porting crap to wayland, or it's just more to break later. I expect only the worst from Wayland based on prior attempts with gnome, now particularly with KDE late to the party. I'd just like to see kde5 work after 10+ years of kwin malfeasance s outside of all that, my favorite DE still. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
