Bug ID: 504829

up the full-size comic on the wrong screen
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First master
Reported In:
Platform: Gentoo Packages

So I'm taking cwo up on his invitation in bug #502432#c8 to file other
comic-applet bugs if I find them. This one has been bothering me for years so
I hope he can fix it.
The comic plasmoid has an option to popup a window with the full-size comic in
it, using either middle-click or the middle navigation button.
Apparently that popup is supposed to be centered on-screen, but...
There has been a long-term bug with that on multi-screen setups, where said
window generally (but not always) pops up centered on the same screen
consistently for a session, but seems to pick which screen it'll use for a
particular session almost at random (tho it does seem to have an inconsistent
favorite, which recently seems to be the top left screen tho it didn't used to
be).
IMO the /ideal/ would be to let kwin window rules apply to plasmashell windows,
with enough information attached to them so the rule could match on specific
windows. Apparently that's broken at least on wayland, unfortunately.[1]
Lacking that, having the window either always appear on the screen the comic
widget is on, or on the primary priority screen as configured in kscreen, would
at least be better than the current situation where the screen it chooses
doesn't seem to be entirely consistent, and all too often it's the worst
possible one (as the top-left one is for me ATM, the plasmoid's on the bottom
left screen, which is middle priority of my three screens, and the bottom right
one is configured as top priority, so why is the comic popup window appearing
on the lowest priority top-left screen?).

[1] Having the krunner window be configurable to under-mouse as used to be
possible on X, but as has never worked on wayland (I filed a bug on it back
when I first switched to wayland, still can't be done AFAIK), would be great!
If window rules would only work on plasmashell windows again... and wayland
windows had the window roles that used to make distinguishing specific windows
on X work when an app-author had filled in the role, even when multiple windows
had the same class and the title was variable...
