X11 or wayland? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > X11 or wayland? X11. I did not test Wayland. Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Plasma 5.25 or 5.26? If it is, please change the status to CONFIRMED when replying. If not, or if you can't because you no longer use this setup, you can change the status to RESOLVED WORKSFORME. Thanks a lot! Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please mark the bug as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed.

Reopening this bug as I'm able to consistently reproduce this behaviour. I have two identical monitors (Samsung Syncmaster H9XS317491), one of which is rotated 90 degrees. Almost every new window that appears on the unrotated monitor appears partially offscreen. I'm running the following: Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230308 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.2.1-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 630 It would be interesting if wither of you could test on Wayland, either with Plasma 6 or with the Plasma 6 beta release. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #7) > It would be interesting if wither of you could test on Wayland, either with > Plasma 6 or with the Plasma 6 beta release. I have not experienced this bug for a while, IIRC, but that is probably because I mainly use either the same resultion for both screens (on X11) or the 4K screen is set to 200% (on Wayland). I am currently using Plasma 6 (git master) and have spent most of my time on Wayland. I can try using 100% or 150% scale on my 4K screen with both screens bottom aligned for a while to see if the problem still occurs. FWIW, I never used fractional scaling and was previously able to experience this with the same config as you, only in reverse: 4x@200% internal screen, FHD@1080p external screen. Can't reproduce it any more, though. Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

Created attachment 132289 [details] FHD laptop screen left; 4K monitor right SUMMARY Sometimes when I open windows, they appear somewhere in the top left 1920x1080 area, which happens to be offscreen for me. My monitor layout has my 1920x1080 laptop screen in the bottom left and my 4K monitor (1x scaling) on the right. I have attached a picture of the layout I've set in system settings. It happens to dialog windows too, not just normal app windows. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Unfortunately, I am not sure how to reproduce this. OBSERVED RESULT Windows sometimes appear offscreen EXPECTED RESULT Windows should not appear offscreen SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20201007 KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 Kernel Version: 5.8.4-1-default OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i7-6500U CPU @ 2.50GHz Memory: 7.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 520 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION One way to deal with this issue as a user is to press Alt+F3 and go to "More Actions -> Move". If you move the cursor down far enough, eventually you will see the window that was hidden offscreen.
