Screen setup ASCII
So sad KDE Bug Tracker doesn't seem to support markdown
So VGA-0 is a virtual display, not connected physically, and some NVIDIA software is being used to make it visible to the system? Does it appear in System Settings > Display & Monitor? Yes it does, as if it's connected to a physical display. I'm not seeing why this is a problem, exactly. What if you want to capture a rectangular area on both LVDS-0 and VGA-0 in such a manner that the bottom-left corner of the rectangle goes into the "Menu flows to here" area? I don't see any way for it to not go into that area, in this case. Well....What I mean is that the menu flows into that area, which is not visible, since it's outside of the 2 monitors. I know you can try to capture an area which overlaps with 2 monitors, but menu shouldn't move into that invisible area, the "Menu flows to here" area that is, otherwise how am I suppose to click its buttons? Can we clarify what you mean by the word "menu"? Are you talking about the rectangular region box itself? Or the toolbar that appears below it? A phone photo of the screens while the bug is visible would be helpful. Created attachment 171242 [details]

Photo attached. Sorry for the confuse, by menu I meant the...one with buttons, not the rectangle selector.
The toolbar below the rectangle region box. I get the same I was trying KWIN window rules see if I could constrain spectacle to a single screen. I don't ever record the other screen anyhow.... I'll upload a photo also might help explain. "Bean-Spectacle.png" Red highlights the screen config Green is ideally where the toolbar would land if the selection is close to the bottom edge bounds but not traversing screens. I know it bahaves like this if I drag the screen to the left for example. Created attachment 171665 [details]

It seems to take only that screen in which it is not touching the boundaries and calculating towards that, aka why it doesn't reposition the floating menu, since it repositions only up/down it does nothing in this case.
From what I gather the calculation is done by believing all screens are going to be horizontally aligned.
