Same issue on Plasma 5.12.6. Often loose external monitor desktop configuration
either partially or completely. Using the Icon-only Task Manager on left plus
an empty panel on the top setup with a global menu and system System Tray
Setting. 

Processer:Intel Core I7-8650U 
Graphics: Intel Graphics 620 
OS: Ubuntu 18.04, KDE Plasma 5.12.6, 64-bit 
Kernel: 4.15.0-33-generic

Created attachment 111239
  --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=111239=edit
schreenshot showing items in wrong side

I can confirm this bug is still present in plasma 5.12.2

OS: KDE Neon 5.12 user
KDE Plasma version 5.12.2
KDE framework 5.43.0
QT 5.10.0
Kernel 4.13.0-36

I use a TV as a secondary HDMI display (located to the left), and laptop is the
primary screen. all the pop-ups of the plasma panel are shown in the wrong
screen. I started with this problem with the 5.11 update. (wasn't presented by
the time I started used KDE neon in December of 2017, or before, when I was on
latest Kubuntu 16.04).

In the KDE Neon telegram chat, someone pointed that restoring the layout from
the theme will fix the issue, but you will lose any personalization made to the
plasma bar. After further testing, it seems that activating the auto-hide
option will bring back this problem if you log out and log back in (which
sooner or latter you will have to)

I've tried adding new widgets or changing the configuration of the current
ones, and this doesn't seem to activate the bug, so far, I only tried the
auto-hide to activate it.

Also, this seems related to this bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344706

Please let me know which logs can I attach to help and kill this bug.

I have this issue now too.

Plasma popups appear on the wrong screen, sometimes don't appear at all.

Nice to hear, but that unfortunately doesn't help everyone else for whom
KDE 5 is doing all sorts of weird things on multi-display setups.

Are these being worked on for fixing? A similar - but apparently totally
unrelated - issue with notifications was getting a lot of attention, while
this one hasn't even been 'confirmed' yet. What gives? It's hardly an
unimportant detail if a 2nd screen is barely usable without considerable
concessions.

If I make the left, secondary, external screen primary - everything seems to
work as wanted. However, the laptop screen  is closer to me, so it should be my
primary.

Super simplistic guess without ref to source code: Perhaps the affected widgets
are coded naively to appear on the left screen, regardless of its type or set
role. Obviously, if true, this needs to be changed so that they intelligently
appear in the right (normal) place on the primary screen instead.

Anyway, I'll stop for now. But if anyone wants any more info that could get
this patched ASAP, I'll be more than happy to help provide that.

Confirmed in 5.4.3 (Debian testing). App Launcher is simply missing its popup
when clicked. Taskbar right-clicks and systray hovers, etc appear on the
external secondary (in my case, left) screen. This is nearly unusable.

Interestingly,  after toggling BACK to the internal laptop screen as primary,
things now appear there where they should: the taskbar is there, and so are all
of its popups/menus.

so the process here - which I hope can somehow help the experts diagnose & fix
this one - was:
* boot with external VGA plugged in - and laptop set as primary on last
shutdown
* = taskbar on laptop screen but popups appear in arbitrary places on secondary
VGA
* switch primary to VGA
* = taskbar and popups on VGA - 'correctly' but not my desired layout
* switch primary BACK to laptop
* = taskbar and popups now magically appear all on laptop primary, which they
should have all along

cheers and hope this helps.
