Description Lech 2024-10-14 19:29:42 UTC 
SUMMARY

Some windows seem to treat dual monitors as extended display - they should be placed and contained in one monitor, but are not.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE on 2 monitors
2. Click "Add or manage widgets" on a panel on the secondary screen

OBSERVED RESULT

The dialog for searching for widgets will be split among the monitors.

EXPECTED RESULT

The dialog should be contained in one screen.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 40
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This happens on my secondary monitor, not on the primary. My setup is Optimus laptop ASUS TUF, with the laptop screen off and external monitors connected through HDMI and USB-C->DP
