SUMMARY

After logging in, new windows appear on the first display but not on the main screen.

When I open e.g. Konsole via Keyboard shortcut after logging in, the new Konsole window appears on the Laptop screen (which is the first screen from the left in my configuration) but not on the main screen, where the mouse and the taskbar are. I need to move the mouse around and click on the first screen to make new windows appear also on the main screen.

The issue is only present before one moves the mouse. I can open and close the Konsole windows and they always appear on the first display BEFORE I do any mouse interaction. After moving the mouse on the main screen just a little, the Konsole window appears on the main window.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

You need to have a multi-monitor setup. The first display must not be the main display.

1. Login to a new Plasma session
2. Open a application via keyboard shortcuts, do not move the mouse
3. New application will be opened on the first display

OBSERVED RESULT

New applications are opened on the first display

EXPECTED RESULT

New applications are opened on the main display, where also the mouse is located.
