--- Comment #23 from Michael Butash <mich...@butash.net> ---
So weirdly a few days ago, my application windows started moving and resizing
bonkers for me again, moving into weird places, resizing windows horizontally
to as thin as only 5px wide, and like this report, moving some of them almost
entirely off the bottom window of the screen (ending up sometimes hidden by my
latte dock) when my external monitors are disconnected.  It had been working
after clearing out my kscreen and plasma config files, but now randomly as of a
few days ago again it's getting extreme (and extremely annoying).

I've been looking into where this window placement location state data might be
kept, but saw nothing in various kwin or kscreen files across .config or .local
configs or resources.

After my kscreen wipe, window placements were not restoring after screen
changes at all, and added back a kwin script restoreToScreen which I have used
prior, and worked well at first, but a few days ago suddenly madness ensued, so
I disabled restoreToScreen.  Now with it disabled for days, some windows stay
in the right places, some get moved but remain proper geometry, other windows
will get squished to like 5px wide, hiding them in my desktop somewhere to be
found.  What's worse is every time I do it, randomly more things move, and to
different places, including off the screen, so something is oddly 

Finding the github for restoreToScreen, an issue reported by kwin's Zamundaaa
that the windows placement to screen restoration functionality was now included
in 5.26, but certainly doesn't seem to work or work as intended with multiple
displays now since 5.27, so maybe something haywire with the multi-screen
changes?  I presume the script and native kwin might have conflicted, but
disabling the script, or before even using it after the wipe removing it did
not or works unpredictably.  

If I could find where these states are saved, I'd love to flush them, but I
can't find the mole to whack.  I did file another bug report separately as
well, might be a dupe of this, but unsure if both are entirely related as I've
had this issue across a few laptops for years now and would like to see this
working properly all the time, as I know it's possible if/when it does.
