Bug ID: 460307
Summary: When a screen turns off, all windows get resized to a
stripe
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.25.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: giampaolo.ferrad...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On my Fedora 35 KDE when I use an external monitor: if the external monitor is
turned off, all of the windows that were displayed on it get moved in the main
one but are resized/collapsed to (very inconvenient) overlapping stripes.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Work on the laptop with an external monitor connected
2. Turn off the external monitor, either because of its own auto power off (in
case of idle) or manual turn off
OBSERVED RESULT
Resize of all windows into a collection of stripes (see attachment),
overlapping each other.
Each window needs to be manually resized to start working again.
EXPECTED RESULT
Normal work: Automatic move or resize of the windows of the external monitor to
the same, or at least proportional, size they had in the external monitor.
On turning on again the external monitor: ideally the windows should go back to
their original size and position.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 35 KDE
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Graphic platform: X11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I thought this might have been caused by the different resolution of the
external monitor (4K VS 1080p of the laptop, which is a Dell Latitude 5521 btw)
but it also happens when the external monitor is 1080p. One of the monitors
tested is a smart TV, the other is a monitor (with TV incorporated but a true
monitor). Both are Samsung devices.
