Bug ID: 487717
Summary: When adding a second screen with greater resolution
than first screen, desktop wallpaper is constrained to
smaller resolution of first monitor
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: git-stable-Plasma/6.1
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen

This is a 2560x1440 resolution monitor, but wallpaper is constrained to
1920x1080. Black space should not be here and wallpaper should be full screen
SUMMARY
I have two monitors. Primary is 1920x1080, secondary is 2560x1440. I have both
monitors using the same wallpaper settings.
If I start my PC and only the single Primary monitor is enabled, and then at
the desktop I turn on my second monitor, instead of scaling the wallpaper and
desktop to 2560x1440, it instead thinks the background of the desktop should be
1920x1080. The taskbar extends across the entire screen as expected, and I can
even move my cursor and desktop icons into the "black" area as shown in the
screenshot. I am unable to right click to invoke the desktop context menu in
the black space. Changing resolution and reverting keeps the 1920x1080 limit
and does not fix it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two monitors, Monitor A 1920x1080 and Monitor B 2560x1440
2. Only have Monitor A turned on, and start PC and go to the desktop
3. While at the desktop, turn on Monitor B
4. Observe the desktop background of Monitor B
OBSERVED RESULT
Wallpaper and desktop background remains capped at 1920x1080 even on Monitor B
which has a resolution of 2560x1440
EXPECTED RESULT
Wallpaper and desktop update with each monitors resolution, even if they are
added after you get to the desktop.
