What kind of popup window? How do you make it open? Can you describe exactly what you're doing?

Any Popup window. In my case the Libreoffice flatpak popup windows for every settings, for restoring unsaved documents. These popup windows are also shown with the generic wayland logo.

I can file  a bug for the libreoffice flatpak, but I think opening windows should be handled by kwin right?

Can you attach output of:  qdbus org.kde.KWin  /KWin org.kde.KWin.supportInformation

Check if you have any window rules or scripts enabled that could be affecting this

It seems to not occur when attaching a second display. So my laptop screen is primary and the second display is on the left. When using laptop only, it seems the popup window shows up right of the laptop screen. As If the Kwin coordinates would originate from the second display as main, while my laptop screen is set as that.

So a problem may be, that I set the kwin rules like that? and the coordinates say its on the right. But it should be normal, as my main screen is always there and where the rule says the window should be.

Coordinates begin at the top left, the primary monitor setting has no impact on that. KWin shouldn't blindly apply the window rule though but also check if the window is still visible, and move it to a sane place if it's not
