Checked on the home setup too (native FHD + 4K extended, virtually located on
top of the laptop screen). Slightly different results than in the past, but not
too much.

In an initial phase:
- Most open windows are  moved back to the laptop monitor in the same size they
had on the other screen (desirable/expected).
- Some windows instead are moved as if there still was another screen at the
bottom (the windows were on the top, extended screen. so it kind of makes
sense). They are not resized though (ok, location is not ideal but the behavior
is still mostly desirable/expected)
- the menu bar did not show up (in the setup it showed up on the top screen,
i.e. the extended one. It did not come back to the laptop)

Then something happened, possibly me using Alt+Tab to move from a window to the
next OR trying a print screen to understand if Plasma was still considering two
monitors (*). One of those two actions triggered the resizing to stripes, so:
- it did the resizing/moving as before, shrinking all of them to stripes
- the menu bar still did not show up
- when looking for the kwin-debug window and opening it, it did not show up, as
if it went on some other screen.

Turning the extended screen back on:
- I can see both the menu bar and the debug screen again, but
- it shrank again the only window that I had brought back to a regular size.

Size for the shrank windows are 1830x157, or 1846x157, 1727x157, 1712x157,
1696x157, etc

Hope this helps. It does get me a bit nuts.

(Notice> I need to upgrade. Maybe I'll wait a few days to check if this bug
helps? Then I'll move to F37 KDE because my install is starting to be
troublesome for other reasons too)

(*) The screenshot test proved that Plasma partially behaves as if the screen
that was turned off was still there: the print screen shows the 4K screen on
top and the capture windows, the Kde menu and the kwin-debug windows are in
there. Yet, all other windows were shrank. See:
