KDE "Display Configuration" bug when deactivating a monitor "if the position is negative"

[isaac0clarke (Isaac Clarke)]

I can’t really explain it in dept because I am not an engineer or whatever.

This is what’s happening:

Fedora KDE: monitor manager bug when deactivating a monitor IF "position is not accepted by it".

The Oled is (in real life) on the left, the VA on the right.

This error, “it broke”, around 3 weeks ago.

Can you switch cable ports? Maybe that will put the Philips monitor in a ‘positive’ position??

[isaac0clarke (Isaac Clarke)]

I can, but I won’t.

I won’t accumulate damage to my Oled because the boot and the BIOS screens always open on it.

Oled damage is death by a thousands cuts.
I paid €500 for this, so I won’t waste a cent.

This has been reported as a KDE issue (by users of other distros, too)

Issue when disabling screen in settings (Position of output %s is negative)

The latest post says:

It has been fixed for me in the Latest Plasma git build.

So hopefully we’ll see this fixed in Plasma 6.6.something.

Let’s hope so, because for now it keeps on happening (we don’t have Plasma 5.6 yet), still, here’s some more screenshots showing “the combinations of actions which don’t work, and the one which does”:
