--- Comment #9 from S. Christian Collins <s_chriscoll...@hotmail.com> --- I have an update on this bug, along with hopefully some more insights on what might be going wrong. I was able to reproduce the bug in VirtualBox (same OS, fully updated), though the behavior of the monitors is swapped from my original report. If I place the icons on my secondary monitor in VirtualBox, then they always get moved to the primary monitor on login. For this test, I did the following steps: 1. Created "folder01" and "folder02" desktop folders on the primary screen (1366x768) in top-left position. 2. Dragged the icons to the secondary screen (1080x768), also in top-left position. 3. Logged off and back on. RESULT: The icons had moved back to the primary screen. I copied the ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc file before the icons move, after the icons move, and after re-login. These are attached below. A notable change happens in this file under [ScreenMapping]: Before icon move: screenMapping=desktop:/folder02,0,ad5434dc-6a89-4476-99d9-c23bbe4122fd,desktop:/folder01,0,ad5434dc-6a89-4476-99d9-c23bbe4122fd After icon move: screenMapping=desktop:/folder02,1,ad5434dc-6a89-4476-99d9-c23bbe4122fd,desktop:/folder01,1,ad5434dc-6a89-4476-99d9-c23bbe4122fd After re-login: screenMapping=desktop:/folder01,0,ad5434dc-6a89-4476-99d9-c23bbe4122fd,desktop:/folder02,0,ad5434dc-6a89-4476-99d9-c23bbe4122fd I assume the number following the desktop folder name (0 or 1) indicates the screen the icons are on. You can see this getting set correctly after the icons are moved, but then being reset to 0 again upon login. Now, on my desktop system used in the original bug report, it would appear that my secondary monitor is identified as screen 0? If so, that would explain why on that system the icons get moved to the secondary monitor instead. So, something is resetting the icons' screen mapping to screen 0 on login. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
