Description

On screen unplug, the panel seems to sometimes move out of the screen : we see the wallpaper instead. Since I upgraded from F22 to F24 (which currently uses Plasma 5.7.5), I also observe that the single panel I am using sometimes (but not always) refuses to automatically move to the current Primary Display when I change System Settings > Display Configuration > Primary display (kcm_kscreen module) to "Dell ..." (my external monitor) or "Laptop Screen". I'm using a dual-screen setup (LVDS on the left, external monitor on the right), and I usually set Primary Display = external monitor. Due to KDE stability issues (since F22 ...) I typically don't plug or unplug the external monitor while a KDE session is running. In F22 with Plasma 5.5.5 and Qt5.5, the KDE panel used to always stay on the Primary Display, i.e., it moved automatically when I changed the Primary Display from "Laptop Screen" to external monitor or back. With Plasma 5.7.5 and Qt5.6.1, the panel can be moved manually to a different display by using Panel Settings and click-selecting/moving 'Screen Edge'. I knew that the panel can be moved to a different screen edge on the same display, but the ability to move it manually to a different display looks new to me. Actually this may be a new design flaw: Once the user has moved a panel away from the Primary Display using 'Screen Edge', it's not clear what should happen (1) when the Primary Display is changed: Should the panel be moved to the new Primary Display or remain "pinned" where the user wanted it to be? (2) during a logout/login cycle: Should the manual change be preserved or ignored in favor of always using the Primary Display on login? Moreover, what if the user creates a separate panel on each display, by creating a new panel (on the Primary Display) and then moving it to another display? I'm wondering if any of these issues are addressed by Plasma 5.7.95 (5.8?), see https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.7.95.php "This release sees many bugfixes in multi-screen support and, together with Qt 5.6.1, should significantly improve your experience with docking stations and projectors."

I just tested it: - Set Primary Display to "Laptop Screen" - Manually move the panel to the external monitor - Change Primary Display to external monitor - What happens: Panel moves to laptop screen! This makes no sense! - Expected : Panel should stay on external monitor > (2) during a logout/login cycle: Should the manual change be preserved or > ignored in favor of always using the Primary Display on login? I can confirm that a manual change of the panel location is preserved through logout/login. *** In summary, I'm not sure that it makes sense at all to allow moving a panel away from the Primary Display. This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
