Description

I can confirm this behavior, but on Fedora 41 (see versions below). I use two external monitors. Recently, I guess with the latest update, the Activity panel (I use meta+q (aka super+q) to bring it up) - it shows up in the wrong place, as a standalone "window" instead of appearing on the left side on the active monitor - or it doesn't show at all. I have had problems before to get the panel to show, and have then made it work by first setting focus to the desktop (by left clicking on the background with the mouse), and then pressing meta+q. This, however, does not work on all monitors. Pressing meta+tab (super+tab) still works to switch between activities. Related, but maybe another issue: I sometimes lose windows to locations where I can no longer move them back to the screens I have. This happens after disconnecting external displays, but is also a problem when external displays are connected. I am not able to move the windows back to active screen by eg. alt+F3, more actions, move - it is impossible to drag the windows. This should probably be filed as a separate bug, maybe it already exists. $ rpm -qa|grep libplasma libplasma-6.3.4-1.fc41.x86_64 $ rpm -qa|grep activi kf5-kactivities-5.116.0-2.fc41.x86_64 kf5-kactivities-stats-5.116.0-2.fc41.x86_64 plasma-activities-6.3.4-1.fc41.x86_64 plasma-activities-stats-6.3.4-1.fc41.x86_64 kactivitymanagerd-6.3.4-1.fc41.x86_64 Created attachment 180174 [details]

As mentioned in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502375#c3 the "fix" in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480890#c5 caused the issue of wrong placement of the Activity sidebar. These lines?: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/commit/12d73b182940e9f081da7c043204033af6526027 Should something be reverted here to make it work as it should? A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/2945 Git commit 515af63832d9c16b8f440b0d6880787bd9c5f761 by Niccolò Venerandi. Committed on 14/04/2025 at 18:10. Pushed by niccolove into branch 'Plasma/6.3'. Avoid double-addition of x coordinate of ActivitySwitcher The current code was adding the x coordinate of the screen geometry two times, in the screenGeometry variable and in the code to calculate the x coordinate.
