Bug ID: 483994
Summary: kwin: wrong window size after disabling external
monitor
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.10
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Firefox showing button at viewport bottom right (before disabling ext. monitor
/ after applying workaround)
SUMMARY
After enabling ("Extend to right") and again disabling an external monitor,
applications get the wrong impression what the current vertical viewport size
actually is, although the screen resolution seems right. For example, a
maximized Firefox window displaying a website with a button at the "bottom" of
the current viewport does not show the button in the right place anymore, but
at an even lower position behind the Plasma taskbar (see attached screenshots).
Similarly, a maximized Konsole terminal shows its bottom-most text line behind
the Plasma taskbar.
As a workaround, switching screen resolutions back and forth fixes the problem
temporarily, until again an external monitor is involved:
xrandr --screen 0 --size 1680x1050
sleep 1
xrandr --screen 0 --size 1920x1080
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attach external monitor via HDMI that has a higher resolution (here:
2560x2880) than the primary monitor (here: 1920x1080)
2. Enable external monitor, "Extend to right"
3. Start a Konsole terminal, maximize on primary monitor, repeatedly press
ENTER to reach the bottom terminal line
4. Disable external monitor, "Switch to laptop screen"
OBSERVED RESULT
Bottom terminal line (and cursor) isn't visible anymore but "behind" the Plasma
taskbar
EXPECTED RESULT
Bottom terminal line (and cursor) should be visible right above the Plasma
taskbar
