--- Comment #334 from Michael Butash <mich...@butash.net> ---
Running Arch, I've been keeping updated, and the multi-monitor behavior only
continues to get even more weird.  I'm on 5.18.4.1 right now, and multi-monitor
is still a basketcase.  This system is currently a dell xps15 9560 with both
intel and nvidia (hybrid) gpu's, but only intel has been used (until
yesterday).  This is also using a thunderbolt 3 dock for the 2 external 4k
displays, so 3 displays including the laptop.

Most lately, my right-most display has a habit of eating my windows now if I
attempt to move them.  Can't really explain it any better...  If I move a
window, only on that display, it disappears.  

Doesn't kill the process, just sorta... disappears, and no clicking of the
taskbar for it will show it again until I maximize it, which then does so to
the middle of the 3 displays, and then double-clicking the header to return it
to un-maximized state puts it back to the second display in the approximate
position I dropped it before.  Only it usually horribly resizes the windows,
usually to some 50 pixel horizontal length that I can't often find on a 4k
display.  If I move it again, same, so I can only resize the window in-place to
make it not repeat this whole thing.  

Super frustrating, I'd think someone hacked me and is screwing with me if I
didn't know better.

I did enable the nvidia gpu yesterday with prime, and kde still does the same
weirdness on that display losing the window and resizing it after maximize.  It
just started happening randomly a week or two ago, along with kde losing my
graphics settings (enabled, primary, refresh/resolution, everything changes
randomly) every time my displays dpms shutdown. I have no idea where to even
begin with something like this…

There are a ton of other multi-monitor issues too, but not quite related to
window placement.  Using Cinnamon DE for a bit never had an issue putting
displays back in the right places, so I know it’s possible.
