Bug Description
I'm reporting this on behalf of a coworker who has a 4K monitor, which disconnects whenever it sleeps. Older monitors didn't do that; but Qt 5.5 tries to be honest about it: the QScreen is destroyed whenever its corresponding monitor is disconnected, QGuiApplication

Some users have also reported that their laptop's screen disconnects when it sleeps. And I have often experienced 5.5-based builds of Creator crashing or disappearing when I switch machines on my KVM. So, sorry that we didn't fix it sooner. It was my mistake for believing that modeling disappearing screens "correctly" was a good idea: it turned out to be a platform inconsistency which developers were not ready for.
