Bug ID: 445454
Summary: programs usually open on a different screen
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.2
Platform: Slackware Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: dchme...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If you have two or (like I have) three or more screens, programs usually open
on a different screen.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select a screen with the left mouse button.
2. Use that screen's menu to open a program.
3. Probably see it open on a random screen.
OBSERVED RESULT
Program often open on a screen other than I selected/started it on, not always
even the primary display (which might be expected) but a totally random screen.
KDE programs are particularly bad at this. Other programs like non-KDE IRC,
web browsers, text editors, usually opened on the primary display, don't tend
to do this. It's usually that I open konsole on the right-hand screen and
dolphin on the upper screen but they usually open on a random screen, sometimes
my main/left-hand one or the top one.
EXPECTED RESULT
Open programs on the same screen as beforehand selected and as the menu that
opened them. If someone moves the mouse to another screen before it starts, I
don't know if that must change it or if people could be given an option.
