I just realized that if I manage to open Display Configuration, and click around until I am able to move the monitors to their real position and save it, everything works as intended. in case anyone else is hitting this issue, I managed to find a workaround: use autorandr, which can be used to save specific monitor configurations, assuming you manage to move the monitors around in Display monitors first by predicting the mouse offset, and then saving the configuration in autorandr. 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 6.1?

We can always re-open it if necessary. Thanks! Great! |
Created attachment 147332 [details] screenshot SUMMARY In a multi monitor setup the mouse clicks on a wrong screen, making multi monitor setup useless. Trying to screenshot(attached it here) the issue I realized one thing: Flameshot, the screenshot software sees my monitors swapped. In reality, the monitor with the blue selection rectangle is on the right and the red circles show the location of the actual mouse cursor(the one on the right, with no selection rectangle is the true location) I have KDE on Manjaro in a Guest VM using open-vm-tools + VMware. I did experience this also on the host, which is also Manjaro + KDE, although I'm not experiencing it at this point on the host. For me, the only workaround I found was to switch to Gnome or XFCE which don't appear to have these issues, although it's not much of a workaround because I miss KDE. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start Manjaro + KDE guest VM in VMware Workstation 2. Cycle multiple monitors so it's expanded on 2 screens. OBSERVED RESULT Right click on the desktop and the dropdown will appear on a different screen than the one expected. EXPECTED RESULT Click should be in sync with actual location of pointer.
