Plasma 6.5 under Wayland switches primary display
Greetings.
One of the more annoying issues I still have with Plasma 6.5 under Wayland
is:
Sometimes, especially when switching back from another user's session to
this session, Plasma / KWin thinks the external screen is the primary
display. However I set the laptop screen to primary display. And I want
Plasma to stick to that.
It does not happen all of the time and I did not yet find out a pattern on
when it does so. Sometimes even the laptop screen is black after switching
back to the session until I restart Plasma. This is really puzzling me
cause there is no reason why the laptop display would ever go away.
I usually notice that it switched primary display over when the applets
are gone some the laptop screen. I then set the laptop screen to primary
again. This restores my usual setup until the issue happens again.
With Plasma on X11 I sometimes had it that Plasma lost connection with
external display. For example when I moved the laptop around a bit. So I
suspect it may be better to look out for a better quality HDMI cable. Or
maybe use a HDMI to DisplayPort cable to connect with the external
display.
However I would like to know if anyone else encountered this or a similar
issue.
This is with Plasma up to 6.5.3 with AMDGPU driver using integrated Radeon
780M graphics with self-compiled Linux kernel 6.17.9 on a ThinkPad T14 AMD
Gen 5.
