monitor_setup

SUMMARY

When having two monitors on top of each other like in the attached screenshot and setting 2 panels to sit on the top side of the screen. The panel of the bottom monitor is shifted to the bottom of the screen. This behavior is not reproducible when for example setting both on the left side and having one screen on the left of the primary.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 2 monitor configured with one above the other one
2. Setup 2 panels (one for each screen) on the top edge

OBSERVED RESULT
The panel of the lower monitor is shifted to the bottom instead of being on the top edge

EXPECTED RESULT
Both panels should sit at the top of their respective monitors

probably kwin bug and nothing related to Latte

Oh, if you set visibility mode to Windows go below, for the panel in the middle, is it fixed?

Unfortunately no it stays at the bottom.

do you have find any alternative solution that works? no idea why this does not work for Latte when "Window Go Below" is chosen.
