Description Daniel (NIICKTCHUNS) 2026-01-18 00:08:38 UTC 
SUMMARY
When opening KRunner for the first time after booting up the PC, KRunner will ALWAYS open in the second monitor instead of the monitor that I'm with my cursor at, this is very annoying since it also opens the app in the second monitor instead of the monitor that I'm using

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update to 6.5.90
2. Restart
3. Open KRunner on a dual monitor setup (the second monitor being on the left)

OBSERVED RESULT
KRunner opens in the second monitor, being on the left, even tho my mouse is on the main monitor

EXPECTED RESULT
KRunner should open in the monitor that my cursor is at

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.18.5-arch1-1 Wayland
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
Qt Version: 6.11.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I don't know if this was the behavior back in 6.5.5, but I'm almost sure that it wasn't

Are you interacting with the pc beforehand or is opening krunner the first thing you do?
Are there other windows on which screen is the focused one?
Do you have krunner opening at the top or middle of your screen?

Yep, I was using the PC before, editing, using the browser and etc, everything on the main monitor, with the focused window being on the main monitor
And I prefer my KRunner at the middle of the screen

krunner: Port away from LayerShellQt::Window::setScreenConfiguration()

This should harden krunner against QWindow::setGeometry() changing the
screen() to the wrong one.
