changing primary screen setting in systemsettings is not honoured Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect VGA screen to laptop 2. reboot 3. change primary monitor in systemconfig Actual Results: nothing happens (except plasma reloading) Expected Results: default workspace should be displayed in primary screen, windows should open in primary screen if launched from primary screen
Bug still present in plasma 5.7.1, frameworks 5.24, qt 5.6.1. Most annoying thing is when windows are opening on the screen which is another room and you can't even see it.
@rockonthemoonfm: Could you provide the debugging information as explained on this page? https://community.kde.org/Solid/Projects/ScreenManagement Thanks!

For more information please see https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2016/07/multi-screen-woes-in-plasma-5-7/ the section headlined "Newly opened windows not placed on the primary screen"
> That's not what this option implies, I'm sorry. What about this splash screen which appears when you turn off/logout and it shows countdown from 30 seconds unless you click a button? This splash/window appears where it likes to (especially on my turn off TV). Shouldn't it appear on primary screen?

It just happens that I have the code for that one open: no, it doesn't look for primary output, but takes the complete geometry of all screens combined.

It does not take complete geometry. I think it takes geometry of the largest screen. I have TV on the left (1280x720) and PC monitor on the right (1920x1080). On my PC monitor there is only little part of this splash but on my TV screen it is wide as TV screen. I can't see buttons on my PC monitor and this is very anoying because I have to wait 30 seconds to turn off/reboot because I don't see my TV.
