SUMMARY
Kscreen-doctor -o output has changed in a way that makes it easier to read for
a human, but more difficult to integrate in bash scripts.

Before I was able to get the names of external and internal monitors using
these bash script lines:

TMP_EXT_MONITOR_NAME=$(kscreen-doctor -o | grep 'DisplayPort' | grep connected
| cut -d ' ' -f 3)
TMP_INT_MONITOR_NAME=$(kscreen-doctor -o | grep 'Panel' | grep connected | cut
-d ' ' -f 3)
echo "Internal monitor is: $TMP_INT_MONITOR_NAME"
echo "External monitor is: $TMP_EXT_MONITOR_NAME"

because each output information was in a single line.
Now the information of every monitor are split in multiple lines.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Execute the four bash script lines above
2.  Read the displayed names

OBSERVED RESULT
It is not possible to read display names

EXPECTED RESULT
Before it was possible to read display names because all display nformations
where on the same line
