--- Comment #7 from darkbasic <darkbasic at linuxsystems.it> ---
I understand that the logs say there is no failure, but still the secondary
screen of the MST setup turns off and I have to go through a dpms cycle to turn
it on again (which means waiting until power management turns off the screen
and then moving the mouse to turn it on again).

With Plasma 5.8 I also get another annoyance: if I start Plasma with my MST
monitors attached it doesn't show the panel with the "start" menu. Except for
that additional issue there are no differences with previous versions of
Plasma. Also, if I start Plasma without my MST monitors attached and if I
attach them later, the behaviour is exactly like the previous versions (it
properly shows the panel with the "start" menu).

Plasma developers insist that this is an Intel bug, the only thing I can do is
downloading a Fedora 25 live cd and try if I have the same issue with Gnome. I
will let you know soon.
