Bug ID: 501355
Summary: On X11, windows are not opened on the monitor where
the mouse cursor is
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.3.2
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: sephiroth...@hotmail.it
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It is not immediately clear what the rationale is behind which screen new
windows open on: sometimes they open where the mouse is, sometimes they don't.
Sometimes they open where the previously-active window is, sometimes they
don't. The behaviour is erratic and difficult to predict. This also doesn't
seem to be configurable. I have tried disabling "allow apps to remember the
positions...", to no effect.
Under Plasma 5, there was a third-party script which made KWin always open
windows in the screen where the mouse was; that allowed for a very consistent
and predictable experience and it would be ideal to see something similar in
Plasma 6 as the default.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an app (in my case, as an example, Vivaldi)
OBSERVED RESULT
The window is not opened on the active screen, i.e. where the mouse is.
EXPECTED RESULT
The window is opened on the active screen.
