Bug Description

On startup the left of my two screens (DP1.2 connected) appears fussy, although not unreadable the font is not distinct. Furthermore, the computer start up logo - in this case "intel nuc" remains in the middle of the left screen. It always seems to be one screen that goes "off focus" and usually the left which is the screen connected to the computer while the other one is daisy chained off it. It only occurs occasionally.

This sounds like a consequence of a common problem with Intel graphics -- the kernel occasionally misdetects the screen resolution.

It's not a big deal if only the startup animations are affected but let us know if you have similar problems on the desktop (such as when resuming from sleep).

Also if the leftover startup image is when KDE should be displaying then you should log that as a bug against KDE or Kwin.
