I have an issue on my Manjaro KDE installation that started 2-3 weeks back - I have no idea what caused it. The wallpaper is blacked out and the desktop context menu is also missing (Right-click on Desktop does nothing). I have two monitors and this issue is only on one of the monitors. Does anyone have any idea?

Please advise if any other information is required.
The issue occurs on DP-3 display. The desktop wallpaper turned black and right-clicking the desktop doesn’t do anything. The other monitor (HDMI-0) is working fine and I can see the desktop and the context menu.
Below is a screenshot:

Not really sure how helpful this is.
P.S. for some reason I can neither insert images nor links in a post.
Update: It’s weird but I found a temporary fix. If I disconnect and reconnect the Display Port the issue is fixed till the next reboot. Hopefully this helps with finding a permanent solution.
Hey mate, I am experiencing the same situation now, Only thing different is I don’t have an external monitor attached, and I’m using a laptop:
Have you fixed it?
