ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2023-08-22 17:04:23 UTC 
Cannot reproduce in X11 with a whackadoodle mixed DPI setup (which I know is unsupported, but it's the only one I've got).
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2023-08-22 21:11:22 UTC 
Cannot reproduce on Wayland either.
Comment 3 Fushan Wen 2023-08-23 00:55:19 UTC 
Can always reproduce on X11, and it's a new user that almost doesn't touch anything.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2023-09-08 17:51:30 UTC 
I just managed to reproduce this while testing Bug 472832. When I tried to reproduce it again, it didn't happen. So it's intermittent.

ShellCorona: make adding new panel follow cursor position

focusWindow is unreliable when it comes to the desktop window, and
using cursor position to decide adding panel to which screen makes more
sense since the context menu was opened there.
