Description Harald Sitter 2017-05-03 10:57:20 UTC 
shellcoronoa's activateLauncherMenu launches the first launcher it encounters in any panel.

When one is using two screens, both with a launcher, this will result in any of them getting launched rather than the most suitable (the one with the active window).

Harald can you please confirm if this bug report is still valid against current KDE, thanks.
Comment 2 Harald Sitter 2020-11-09 12:07:47 UTC 
Well, KDE being a community I don't think we are particularly buggy. The bug in Plasma is still pretty much the same. The first found applet that is a launcher and has a global shortcut is activated.

Comment 6 Marco Martin 2021-08-24 12:47:39 UTC 
Needs new api from kwin that also specifies the screen you want to open the menu in
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2023-04-21 15:15:07 UTC 
That new API was eventually, added and now this works, respecting the active screen as expected
