Plasmashell inverts(flips?) screen after running a game? (X11/Plasma 6)

Hi, I’m using nvidia drivers. FOr whatever reason at times Plasmashell would get “cute” and flip the screen to the point I just run plasmashell --replace and everything goes back to normal…

Is there something… I could do ?

      Maybe you’re pressing some key binding that is set to rotate your desktop. Like ctrl+alt+arrow? Or something like that?

        @cyborganism No…? I play with a controller… mostly. Both have exhibited the same behavior with controller or keyboard/mouse. Plasmashell gets weird starts flickering like crazy or flips the image in reverse. (as in bottom is now top)

        It’s been an ongoing thing. Whatever is happening resetting plasmashell always helps. Which begs the question if plasmashell is getting “somehow influenced” by something.

          Ah ok.

          What distro are you using? What’s your video card? Do you have any customizations to your Linux that we should be aware of?

            @cyborganism

            - Arch Linux, everything vanilla.
            - RTX 3090

            I’m not really into customizing the living hell of my devices. I enjoy stability and would rather just settle with plain of defaults.

            Has happened with Plasma 5. I always thought it was kwin (compositor) but… who knows.

              Can you try rolling back you Nvidia driver to a previous version and try again to see if it still happens?
