Description olexorus 2021-09-02 12:19:12 UTC

SUMMARY
I have two monitors and would like to use Yakuake on my right screen. But whenever I set it to open on that screen, it moves there for a single frame and then instantly jumps back, and also reverts the setting. When I use the "At mouse location" setting it behaves normally while my mouse is on the left screen, but if my mouse is on the right screen, it opens as far right on the left screen as possible (so it tries to move towards the mouse but still stays on the left screen).

Also when I reverse the order of my screens (so that the one that's physically on the right is on the left in software) it goes to the other screen (it stays on the one that's on the left in software), so it can display on that screen.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Not sure about this, for me it happens every time I open it.

OBSERVED RESULT
Yakuake always opens on the left screen.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be possible to move Yakuake to the right screen.

It seems to be related to display scaling. I have my scaling set to 150%, when I change it to 100% it works perfectly. Also I noticed that the flicker when I try to change the window screen is actually across the border of both screens.

My guess of what's happening is that Yakuake gets the location of the right screen as 2560 virtual pixels, but then sets the location of the window to 2560 physical pixels, which is still on the left screen, so the window goes across both screens which is then blocked.

I can reproduce exactly the same issue - also with scaling set to 150%. With scaling set to 100% it works as expected.
I have 3 displays. The behavior on the first and the second is exactly as of the reporters. When I try to open the terminal on the third, it opens on the middle of the second screen.

Tried upgrading to 22.04.2, but no change in behavior.

Same thing here, using  X11 and scaling 175 and 100 in the second monitor.

Comment 4 Ravi 2023-02-14 19:37:40 UTC

can confirm on 125% display scaling as well (125% on both monitors)

Comment 5 Ravi 2023-02-27 18:13:31 UTC

Works for me on yakuake revision 45be2665850e44180f692dc0a23d4539d91657ed and konsole revision 77c6f26c8b9fefa7e3b9ad648ae61117d057a8d4

Cannot confirm that: with Yakuake 23.04.2 and Konsole 23.04.2 (both newer than that revisions) nothing changed for me.
Yakuake still behaves exactly as in my comment from a year ago.

Correction: It worked for me on a 1440p panel with 150% scale. Going back to 125%, the problem reappears
