Current setup:
- two ultrawide monitors. Dell alienware 34" oled ultrawides (one is gsync; second is freesync)
- I have a lvl1techs kvm switch for two computers, using all display port cables (DP1.4). I believe the implementation of switching with this KVM is very rudimentary and does not persist the monitors with EDID emulation completely.
How to recreate:
- If I lock my PC before switching to my laptop, all the windows and state on my second monitor (left hand side; not primary monitor), are lost and no longer tracked by komorebi.
- Komorebi appears to be able to cache and recover the primary monitor's state; but not the state of my secondary monitor.
- To reconcile this, I have to minimize and bring focus to the apps again on the second monitor to try and rebuild the state I desire.
How to avoid:
- I noticed if I DON'T lock my PC first before switching, this problem does not occur.
- I prefer to always lock my devices before leaving them unattended, so this is undesirable.
Komorebic Logs from the BUG condition (locking before switching to laptop)
- (see attached file)
- some errors exist. May need some explanation on what's going here.
Komorebic state delta from BUG condition:
- (see attached file 2)
- I noticed that the BUG condition is causing everything in the "elements" array to disappear. This seems to be a part of the problem.
Komorebic monitor-info output:
- (see attached file 3)
- I noticed that the names are being swapped between the two monitors.
komorebi.json relevant changes
- I tried to add persistence to resolve this. No bueno.
"display_index_preferences": {

"1": "3FZG2S3"
},
"monitors": [

}
]
},
{
"workspaces": [
{
"name": "IV",
"layout": "UltrawideVerticalStack"
}
]
}
]
This is basically really annoying to deal with, as I need to micromanage the second monitor too much. Let me know if there are any solutions!
Thanks in advance
