I have been able to duplicate this on both Fedora and openSUSE, multiple times. (In reply to amdfan12 from comment #0) > SUMMARY > - On a fresh install of a Linux distribution running KDE Plasma 6 on a > computer with two monitors, the task-manager panel will default to the > non-primary screen for no discernible reason. Switching which monitor is the > primary in the "Display Configuration" just causes the task manager to > bounce to whichever monitor is non-primary. The only fix is to delete the > panel and create a new one on the primary monitor. > > STEPS TO REPRODUCE > 1. Obtain computer with two monitors connected via Display Port. > 2. Fresh install openSUSE with KDE or Fedora KDE Edition with KDE Plasma 6+ > 3. Log In after installation completes > > > OBSERVED RESULT > - The "task manager" panel is always on the second, non-primary monitor > > EXPECTED RESULT > - The "task manager" panel should be on the primary monitor. > > SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS > Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 41, openSUSE Tumbleweed > KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5 > KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 > Qt Version: 6.8.1 > > ADDITIONAL INFORMATION > -AMD Radeon 5700XT > - Primary Monitor on "Display Port 1", secondary monitor on "Display Port 3". > - Both monitors are identical I did more testing: - It's not just a new install, simply creating a new user account will result in the "Welcome to Fedora" and the task manager panel to appear on the secondary monitor. - Display Configuration still shows the correct monitor as primary, but it's as if some file or config that identifies which monitor is primary elsewhere is not being set correctly. - Changed the secondary monitor from DP-3 to DP-2, and the behavior still remained the same when creating new account - Also noticed that brightness gets overridden on new account creation, but will create new bug report for that. Thank you for the bug report! I'm sorry we weren't able to get to it yet. I just tested this on git master, and I can't reproduce it. Can you check and see if it's still an issue in Plasma 6.3.5 or later? 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.
