Description Anon 2024-03-06 23:07:50 UTC
SUMMARY
***
When using an external monitor with a laptop, closing the laptop moves the windows on the external monitor up past the top of the visible screen. This hides half the content, and the title bars, so moving the windows back to their expected position is difficult. (it requires using the context menu in the panel)
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect external monitor to laptop and configure layout
2. Use the machine for any length of time with the laptop open
3. Close the laptop

OBSERVED RESULT

The windows on the external monitor are moved up past the top of the screen, hiding half their content and title bars.

EXPECTED RESULT

The windows do not move.

Does it happen on Wayland too, or just X11?

Just Wayland.

Interesting, cannot reproduce when I use the same setup.

Can you attach a screenshot of the Display & Monitor page in System Settings that shows your screen layout? Maybe that's a factor, and it only affects certain layouts.

I've uploaded screenshots of the two screens with Dolphin open on the external monitor, first with the laptop screen open, next with it closed. In the closed scenario, Dolphin has moved significantly.

Of note:

* Before 6.0.0 I only used X
* In X the laptop screen is set as primary
* In the Wayland session, for some reason the external monitor set itself as primary (this explains another bug I filed where the panels are on the wrong screen https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482618 but I did not set the external screen as primary, a fresh unused Wayland session after the 6.0.0 update did that)
* The mouse pointer moves across screens as expected (so the physical layout of the screens and the logical layout in the settings are in agreement and correct)
* When I put the Dolphin window on the laptop screen, and close the laptop screen, Dolphin moves up to the external monitor (good) but pushed way up and cut off (not good). Another window that was open on the external monitor also moves (not good).

Hello, I believe this may be fixed as of Kwin 6.0.5.

I also encountered the same issue, but with multi-monitor causing windows to offset after a dpms monitor poweroff, sounds to be similar conditions to a laptop lid activity with external monitor. 

I can't identify a particular commit in the changelogs to confirm, but the offset behavior stopped for me around 6.0.5.
Comment 14 Nate Graham 2024-06-27 17:49:16 UTC
Anon, can you confirm that? Also at this point maybe test 6.1, not 6.0.5.
