I have 2 monitors, both 24" Samsung. One, in front of me is the usual landscape orientation while the other, to my right, is portrait. Have run like this through at least the lsst 3 Debian releases with absolutely no problem. On the same machine I have a Buster installation and it works fine, so doubt it is a hardware issue. Using the same drivers, firmware etc in both.
However, in Bullseye, the system seems to forget the screen orientations and the wallpaper for just the monitor that is set in portrait mode. The other one is fine.
So, now the weirdnesses:
When I start the machine the main monitor is fine, but the portrait one seems to be stuck on the KDE splash screen. The mouse moves through it ok, but nothing works. But, if I take a screenshot, everything looks the way it should:
Running xrandr gives me:
