So, like many others, I am facing an issue with the KScreen2 since the KDE 5.23 update.
In a dual monitor setup, if I switch input to my main monitor, it removes the monitor, moves all the open windows to the other monitor and when I switch back, they remain there.
Same thing happens when the screen saver kicks in.
If I disable KScreen2, this behavior goes away, but I have to re-arrange my monitors, everytime I boot.
Therefore, I need some help on how to do this. Below is my xrandr output with the monitors correctly setup.
xrandr:

It would be great if I can apply these settings for all users, but I will take it just for me too.
