Hi. I am a coder and student using KDE and I'd like to ping the mailing list of an issue regarding the QT Framework and KDE Plasma 5. This is a UX bug that I believe is rooted in some conflict in maybe some sort of update on how QT dialogs work and/or how Plasma 5 is programmed. Despite any speculation of mine, it has been made clear to me by Nate Graham of KDE that this is an upstream issue and that it has to be resolved here.
>https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-94778 The "issue" was actually of a completely different nature. What we originally thought was the problem was that Plasma 5.22 using QT 5.15.2 would have been: >right clicking an icon on a secondary monitor calculates the correct position according to screen geometry *>the prompt would be output to the wrong screen* This *wasn't* the issue. I was made aware of the actual circumstances by user Eric Putney (link). Instead our "problem" didn't actually exist. KDE Plasma 5 calculates the screen size properly to determine where it should put the right click prompt as well as which screen, and it theoretically does. But, the problem is that in our bug report, we were unaware that the actual cause for the prompt offset isn't our hypothesis but rather some other window calculation code doing something we don't want. *Assuming one primary monitor and one secondary, right clicking an icon on the secondary monitor will display the right click prompt moved exactly 2560px to the direction of the primary monitor. *That is the problem accurately described. This is independent of screen size; it will be 2560px to the left or the right. There is no vertical manifestation of this bug. The good part about this is that given that it is a horizontal offset with a constant value, I can only guess that this will be an easier issue to hammer out. I cannot make that conclusion because I am not entirely sure *what *caused it. Those are my guts, anyway. I'd like a fix.
