Bug ID: 407239
Summary: Display orientation backwards in settings view
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.15.4
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm
Assignee: se...@kde.org
Reporter: wolft...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When setting display orientation, the little icons correctly indicate that it
is the *content* of the display that will get rotated. So, rotating the content
clockwise and then rotating the physical monitor counter-clockwise ends up with
a non-rotated portrait-mode. But the symbolic representation of the displays
shows the opposite: it shows the monitor being rotated clockwise rather than
the content.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the display preferences
2. Rotate display clockwise
OBSERVED RESULT
Notice that the representation of the monitor including the element showing the
"bottom" that has extra large border, that itself has now rotated clockwise,
whereas the actual monitor may or may not have been rotated and the rotation
needed to have a normal view with clockwise-rotation of the content is to
rotate the monitor counter-clockwise.
The image shows the content (the name of the display) rotating along with the
whole dimensions, so it looks like a monitor that has been rotated with *no*
rotation of the content.
EXPECTED RESULT
The content (the name of the display) should rotate in the chosen direction.
The full display should either not rotate, rotate the *opposite* direction
(assuming that's what the user is doing with the physical monitor), or offer an
independent option for the user to specify what they have done with the
physical monitor.
Whatever the solution, it should not show the content *and* the rectangle both
rotating. The orientation setting rotates the content *without* rotating the
rectangle (but is almost always done along with a opposing rotation of a
physical monitor).
