Taskbar disappears on internal laptop screen

,

Hey,

since a couple weeks now I have this weird problem where my taskbar disappeats from my Laptop screen.
99% of the time I use my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1) with Fedora Linux 44 and KDE-Framework 6.28.0 hooked up on a Lenovo workstation docked to a second screen, keyboard and mouse.
in this setup, the taskbar is visible on one screen, when I enter the system settings to alter the display settings and set either the internal screen or the external screen to primary, the taskbar is only visible on the other one.

As soon as I unplug the Laptop from the docking station, the taskbar on the Laptop screen disappears.
Also when I completely shut it down, the task bar does not reappear. It only appears again when I plug the Laptop back into the docking station.

Thanks in advance for all your help

Restarting plasmashell should fix this hopefully.

systemctl --user restart plasma-plasmashell

Hey @sketch-exe thanks for your reply; I quickly tried it, unfortunately no positive result. the shell did restart, but after I unplugged the Laptop from the docking station, the result was still as before (no taskbar on the Laptop).
I might add, all updates of the past days were otherwise successfull.

Can you try and tell me if this fixes?

mv ~/.local/share/kscreen ~/.local/share/kscreen.bak

Log out and Log in, dock the laptop and set your primary display settings.
It just forces Plasma to re detect your screens.
