(In reply to Simon Herrmann from comment #19)
BTW, most likely the desktop was confused by the strange monitor layout (internal display having a different and even bigger resolution than the external one), made some unlucky/wrong assumptions and failed completely in the end.
I totally agree that the size got missunderstood by gnome or whatever piece of software made that assumption about size. I don't know how to change that, nor did I choose this size. Clearly, as correctly assumed by you, the external monitor should be larger than the internal display, rather than smaller as defined by default. By the way, am I the only one having this problem? Does no one else use an external, second monitor?
I can confirm exactly the same issue. Thinkpad X1 4th gen Skylake 520 graphics. Updated Tumbleweed. Plasma 5.10.3, Kernel 4.11.8. The problems started for me after June 16-ish. I have a Thinkvision display attached with a resolution of 1920x1200 dpi with a resolution on the hdpi laptop screen of 2560x1440. This has never (ever) caused any problem in the past. I have attached this laptop to numerous external displays and projectors of different resolution.
