SUMMARY It's been a few days now that I've had this issue, basically when I plug my external monitor (which becomes the primary display to the left of my laptop, at the same resolution), my open windows keep the same size but their positions go to x=0 for the external monitor and to the top right corner for the laptop screen. Even when I set some window rules to force the x and y positions of the windows, this still happens. I have tried switching the primary display, still the same problem (except now the window moves to the right edge of the laptop screen) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a window opened 2. Plug external monitor OBSERVED RESULT Opened window gets shifted to the left edge of the screen (for the external monitor). If the window was on the laptop screen, it gets shifted to the top right of it. EXPECTED RESULT The windows should stay in the center of the screen, in the same position as before.

Note that this happens whether "Window Placement" is set as "Minimal Overlap" or as "Center". Should be fixed in 5.26 |
