Bug ID: 468177
Summary: Window left outside remaining screen area after
disconnecting monitor
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.3
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: andreas_norda...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have a laptop with a FHD screen and a separate 4K monitor. I have set the
laptop screen to turn off when connected to the monitor, so in my case, the
screen area halves in width and height when disconnecting the monitor. So far
so good.
I like to work with Konsole on the left half of the screen and Kate on the
right.
When I disconnect, only Konsole remains visible, and the minimize animation
reveals that Kate is exactly outside the remaining screen area. In this state,
Kate is unreachable: I can't move it into the remaining screen area, because I
can't grab it, because the mouse pointer won't go there. Thankfully, I can
F11-fullscreen it and save my work. But there is no way I can get the window
inside the remaining screen area again other than restarting it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 2 screens of different width connected in the mode where the small
screen shows the upper left pixels of the big one or is off.
2. Drag a window into the right desktop edge, so it snaps into exactly the
right half of the screen.
3. Disconnect the big screen.
OBSERVED RESULT
The window that I snapped to the right side of the screen is left outside the
remaining screen area.
EXPECTED RESULT
The window that I snapped to the right side of the screen is somewhere on the
right side of the screen.

The phenomenon happens only in width, not height: If I put Konsole in the lower
left quadrant before disconnecting, I still see Konsole in the lower left
quadrant.
