Bug ID: 489271
Summary: applications don't open on primary monitor when
taskbar is empty
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: git master
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: cerebr...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
I have two monitors, and the primary one is to the right.
When there are no windows opened or all the windows are minimized, opening
applications with a keyboard shortcut makes the application open on the
secondary monitor, even though the mouse is on the primary. If you move the
mouse or click on the empty desktop before opening the application, it will
spawn in the correct monitor (primary) once, but if you close it and open it
again, it will open on the wrong monitor. Examples: showing/hiding yakuake,
opening/closing dolphin.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have no windows opened, or all windows minimized for that virtual desktop.
Mouse on the primary monitor
2. Do not move the mouse
3. Open an application via a keyboard shortcut
4. Close application with the keyboard. Try opening it again via shortcut
OBSERVED RESULT
Application will open on secondary monitor
EXPECTED RESULT
Application should have opened on primary monitor, where the mouse cursor was.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think this started happening somewhere between plasma 6.0 and 6.1.
This happens with a fresh user account as well.
Secondary monitor is DP-1 and primary monitor is DP-2. Maybe it has something
to do with that.
Here is the result of running kscreen-doctor --outputs:
