Would you mind attaching the output of "qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation"? If I'd guessed correctly you should see "Active screen follows mouse: no" under the section "Screens". In that case, a work around for this problem is to run: kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kwinrc --group Windows --key ActiveMouseScreen "true" Thanks jukuc! That is correct. I see "Active screen follows mouse: no". So this is a regression in the kwin kcm, because it shows the option set to ON there? I'll use the workaround meanwhile (it works!). Do you still need the full support output? No need for now since it seems like we've found the culprit :) Playing around with an older version of plasma desktop on Manjaro KDE minimal 20.0.3 live USB, I observed the following behavior that was different: - setting "Active screen follows mouse" under settings modules would remove the key "ActiveMouseScreen" in ~/.config/kwinrc, whereas it would change the key to the value "true" in older version of Plasma desktop. FYI of my setup: Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.72.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0 Kernel Version: 5.7.9-1-MANJARO Live usb: Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 Kernel Version: 5.6.15-1-MANJARO Yes, that is what I found as well. Fiddling with the settings removes the entry when I set the option to ON. Manually setting the entry to "true" in the config file and restarting kwin is a workaround. I forgot to mention to also run this command after kwriteconfig5: qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure This would save you the effort of restarting kwin.
