--- Comment #48 from Michael G. <dra...@speciesm.net> --- Thank you very much for still keeping this open. I have been used to configure my screens only to the right side of my laptop for 1-2 years now because of that exact problematic behaviour. It is somewhat sad that this will not come for x11. I am surprised that this is a technically difficult problem to approach. The control bar is placed on the correct monitor and new windows also open on the correct screen. KScreen reflects the information of xrandr with the relative translation of the screen. Each window has its top left corner distinctively in one of the screens. If that screen has a new position, the window moves with it. Even choosing the center point as a mapping to the output would not be that terribly wrong nor any 'strange heuristic' imho. Ultimately this would be also only half the truth. While it would be good if KWin takes its windows along with the screens anyway, when connection a new screen it should not really require to move the old one. But that would require X11 to allow negative positions which I can understand might be more refactoring and work. I am putting up high hopes in wayland… multiscreen-setups have been a PITA on KDE/linux for the last century while it was nailed pretty solidly on other OSs :S I'll give Neon a spin and try it on my main system with plasma 5.9. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
