--- Comment #1 from Martin Flöser <mgraess...@kde.org> ---
I'm sorry but there's actually nothing wrong. This is actually a big limitation
of X11. Windows are positioned in global coordinates and don't know on which
screen they are. If you change the screen layout you change the global
coordinate system, but the windows are not changed. This is the expected
behavior of X11.
Can we do something about it? Not really, because we don't know what the user
expects and what the windows do. Easy example: Plasma reacts on it and adjusts
it's windows. Imagine KWin would also adjust: it would completely break.
There's no way for the window manager to know whether a window reacts itself,
expects to stay or expects to move. Due to that we cannot do anything. Other
window managers might do something, but we prefer to only do things which are
actually possible and don't break as soon as you look at it from the wrong
side.
