Bug ID: 459448
Summary: Layout is changed when external monitor is unplugged
and cannot be changed
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.90
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: m...@iyanmv.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The desktop layout is changed from "Desktop" to "Folder View" when I unplugged
an external monitor. Later, if I try to change it back to "Desktop", it is not
possible. Rebooting restores the "Desktop" layout back.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose "Desktop" layout
2. Connect external monitor
3. Unplug external monitor
4. Go to Configure Desktop and Wallpaper and try changing layout
OBSERVED RESULT
Layout is changed for no reason after unplugging the external monitor. This was
happening to me in the past in the other direction (when connecting a new
monitor, it would, by default, show the desktop in folder view) but it was
always possible to change the setting. Now, if you go to "Configure Desktop and
Wallpaper" by right clicking on the desktop, the layout shows that is in
"Folder View". When selecting "Desktop", a message saying that "layout changes
must be applied before other changes can be made" is shown with an "Apply Now"
button. This button does not work. Using the general "Apply" and "Ok" buttons
also doesn't change the layout.
EXPECTED RESULT
Layout should never be changed under any event (apart from the settings menu).
If "Desktop" layout is selected, all new additional screens should use that
layout. Perhaps in the future it would also make sense to add an additional
button like "Apply to All", that could change settings to all screens at once
(layout, wallpaper, etc.). And, in any case, it should be possible to change
the layout at any time, even if right now is changed automatically under some
circumstances.
