I use a laptop. When I use the laptop on its own krunner behaves normally. However, when I plug a monitor, I can see the krunner window if I type Alt+F2 when the mouse pointer is on the secondary (monitor) screen. However, if I type Alt+F2 when the mouse pointer is on the main (laptop) screen, krunner does not show this window. There is a hint that krunner was invoked, however: all the other windows appear to lose focus. Even more: if you type something, krunner THEN appears at the top left corner of the SECONDARY display with the relevant drop-down choices. This is a strange behavior and could be very confusing to inexperienced users. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Plug a monitor to the laptop as a secondary display. 2.Put the mouse pointer on the laptop screen. 3. Type Alt+F2. Nothing happens. Type something then, and krunner will appear on the MONITOR, not the laptop screen. Actual Results: Krunner is not shown in any screen. All windows lose focus. If you type something, krunner will appear in the secondary screen. Expected Results: krunner should appear after Alt+F2 invocation on the relevant screen
I also see this issue. But it is not 100% reproduceable for me as you described. Krunner just sometimes does not appear on one screen in a multi screen setup.
