STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select password field on monitor 1.
2. Click virtual keyboard button on monitor 2. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Virtual keyboard opens on monitor 1.

Is that on Wayland or X11?

Wayland.

I don't think window system matters in this case, and this is an issue in maliit itself, as it only uses the primary screen. I'm also not sure what the best way to solve this would be, yet, as it was designed around single screen phone/tablet use case and not for multiple monitors on traditional PC setup use case.
