Created attachment 11365 [details] systemsettings - display rotate bug log $ systemsettings5 2>&1 > ~/systemsettings5_20191117_1917.log done Run systemsettings until it freezes whole session display Mouse was still moving on rotated display, cursor was changing according to invisible windows. Repeated Alt+F4 shortcut, make sound happen, probably an alert from a closing window. A parallel graphic session on the same station was fine.

They probably won't fix it. So I'm asked to test with Plasma 5.17, then I'm wondering : 1 - Is it possible still using "home system" mageia7? 2 - Can I run a virtual box with Cauldron for that? (not sure... because box screen seems so virtual) 3 - I can try to install Cauldron on a spare partition (Need to parse https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Grub2-efi_and_Mageia for a net-install) third choice looks the best, ^~^'
3 - Mageia Cauldron 8 is not completely booting - (5 bubbles and then black screen with a very slowly blinking dash) - (Even got a more verbose one with many green OKs and ending with "Hold until boot process finishes up...") waited several minutes without any change. 4 - Got an hold MageiaCauldron7 $ plasmashell --version plasmashell 5.12.1 Rotating screen is ok with it. 5 - On Mageia7, this is $ plasmashell --version plasmashell 5.15.4 Rotating screen is broken My tests are over with no success.
