Comment 1 Nicolas Fella 2021-01-07 15:27:45 UTC

Can you clarify what "the intended monitor" is?

Comment 2 Franco Pellegrini 2021-01-07 15:31:14 UTC

in the screen configuration options , you can select what monitor is considered as "primary". That monitor should display the incoming notification popups. My primary monitor also should display the panels I specifically add, and widgets to that panel. This bug mix everything between prinary and secondary monitor every 3 or 4 days, at login.

Comment 3 Nicolas Fella 2021-01-07 15:33:45 UTC

The primary monitor does not determine the notification placement. Notifications appear on the monitor where the panel with the notification applet is placed

Comment 4 Franco Pellegrini 2021-01-07 15:36:23 UTC

I don't have notification applet on the second monitor, and they ayer appearing on that monitor. Also sometimes the background images get swapped.

Comment 5 Franco Pellegrini 2021-01-07 15:38:21 UTC

I also tested placing notification applet on both monitor, and they keep randomly appearing on second monitor sometimes.

Can you still reproduce this issue in Plasma 6.3? A lot has changed since the issue was opened.
