Bug ID: 470979
Summary: Stylus input does not work properly with changes in
display orientation
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: git-stable-Plasma/5.27
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: trashandspa...@protonmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When the display orientation is anything but the default, the stylus cursor
appears in the wrong location. For example, if I rotate the orientation 180
degrees and hover the stylus near my keyboard, the cursor appears on the other
side of the screen, near my camera.
This is almost exactly like a previous bug reported in 2020
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423799). This bug is marked as resolved,
fixed in KDE Plasma version 5.20. However, I am using a more recent version
(5.27.5) and am still observing the bug.
I found another similar bug report for Arch Linux
(https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65950), but it was not resolved.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the 'System Settings' application
2. Navigate to the 'Display and Monitor' section
3. Choose any non-default orientation option
4. Attempt to use the stylus.
OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor will appear in the wrong location on the screen. The stylus will
treat the part of the screen closest to the keyboard as the bottom of the
screen in any display orientation.
EXPECTED RESULT
I expect the cursor to appear directly beneath my physical stylus, regardless
of display orientation.
