krandrtray-menu does not recognize external display

[dp]

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

When I plug in my external display into my laptop after I bootet up, krandrtray does not show the newly connected output device in its context menu ("context menu" as in right-click on the tray icon), only the internal display can be seen. When I open krandrtrays setup screen (Right click -> "Setup Display" or the like) all connected displays are listed correctly and I can configure the resolution without problems.

Reconfiguring the enabled displays does not make the output for the external display appear in the krandrtray context-menu.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
