How do I keep a tiling layout consistent across multiple desktops in Plasma 6.4?

I want the opposite of per-desktop layout in one of my displays, where I want it consistent across ALL of them. Is that possible? I don’t see any settings for that in System Settings.

I have at least 3-4 windows that I currently need across all desktops cuz Plasma still doesn’t have per-screen virtual desktops, and I place them in my one of my non-primary monitors.
When I switch desktops, the layout gets all messed up.

Current workaround: I switched to KZones and will explore an autotiling KWin script

Having the same issue… even with manually snapping instead of using the new tiling method because I didn’t know about shift + drag window before. When I switch desktops the windows just switch out of place

Same here. I’d love to have layouts consistent across desktops by default or through a settings. I’m currently constantly losing my windows.
I have a 3-monitor setup where my center monitor has windows unique per desktop and the side monitors host things which I want always visible on each virtual desktop.
I think the concept of having unique layouts is great for who needs it but my whole workflow is now sadly broken.

Hi - it looks like this behavior has been reported through the KDE Bugtracking System: 505684 – Windows on multiple virtual desktop don’t sync position and size
