I am using archlinux 4.6.3-1-ARCH with 3 screens connected to my computer and after I have updated to the latest version of plasma 5 (5.7) every time I open a window on my middle screen it the task manager of the left screen , and every time I open a window in my left screen it shows as I have opened it in the middle screen also when I right click on items at the task manager the menu shows in the wrong screen. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open dolphin on the middle screen. Actual Results: dolphin icon shows in the task manager in the left screen Expected Results: dolphin icon shows in the task manager in the middle screen where it is opened This bug makes using plasma 5 with multiple screens completely broken, also right clicking on items in the task manager shows in the wrong screen. This bug seem to be in both task manager and Icon-only task manager.
Same here on Arch after upgrading to plasma 5.7.0. I have 4 monitors with a panel on each one. Each panel has its own task manager with the option "only show tasks from the current screen" and the tasks all show on the wrong panels. For now I had to turn off "only show from the current screen" to make it usable, but that's not very usable either with 4 screens.
Experiencing the same issue on Arch following the plasma 5.7.0-2 update. 4 monitors are configured with icon-only task manager to "only show tasks from current screen". Only primary monitor functions properly with all the rest of the windows appearing on the wrong task manager. Problem is also reproducible with the non-icon-only task manager. Deleting and re-creating the default panel does not have any affect.

Edit: I have found that the task manager filters work as expected if I only use 3 monitors (disconnected the rightmost screen to replace projector lamp) but issue resumes once monitor is re-connected.

I am using 3 monitors as well. For me however the behavior is that the center monitor works fine while the icons on the left and right monitor are swapped in their positions.

Git commit 332b96b3632d0fc4b3bbd21907127093f0988e45 by Eike Hein. Committed on 12/07/2016 at 08:55. Pushed by hein into branch 'Plasma/5.7'. Do screen filtering by screen geometry rather than number. Summary: Avoids problems stemming from libtaskmanager and plasma-framework's AppletInterface::screen numbering screens differently (QScreen order vs. who knows what).

I believe the above commits should address these problems -- I'll keep the ticket open for now until some test results come around.
I'll recompile this weekend and see what happens. Thanks!
Unfortunately I had to revert the changes for now, as the 5.7.1 tagging was upon us. They worked nicely for some testers, but badly for another tester, for reasons I currently don't yet know/understand, so the safe choice was to go back to the old code (which also works fine for several testers). I'll get more debug info from the tester tomorrow, and see about what can be done for 5.7.2 one week from now.
For those experiencing this issue: a temporary workaround (if your monitors are side by side) is to disable everything except your leftmost screen and enable your monitors from left to right. This will force the re-numbering of screens.
Anyone who can: Please test the hein/screenGeometryFilter branches of plasma-workspace and plasma-desktop and see if they work better.
Hi guys, can confirm same issue on arch as well with 4 monitors, the 3rd is my primary, 3rd and 4th task icons show correctly however on the 1st and 2nd it's reversed (1st shows on 2nd toolbar and vice versa). I'm out today but can recompile and test as needed or hop on IRC and do the same probably tomorrow! Will report back

The code in the hein/screenGeometryFilter branches was since merged to master.
so this fix should be 5.7.4 ?
No, currently it's in the branch that will be come 5.8. It hasn't had enough testing yet to backport it to the 5.7 branch. I'm relying on people willing to test there.
Have that issue too witch my arch/kde. Looking forward for 5.8

Any Neon Unstable testers ready to provide results?
Also having this issue... Arch Linux, KDE 5.7.4 http://i.imgur.com/1fq8Xrr.png

After running kscreen to setup orientation and position I added 3 empty panels to the screens without panels and added the Task Manager widget to each one. Configured to "Show only tasks from the current screen" and it worked perfectly. The only problem I had was that the Task Manger on the default panel would not show anything on its screen unless it was configured to show tasks from all screens. But when I deleted that Task Manager and re-added it it worked as expected as well.

The update to plasma 5.8.0 fixed this issue for me (Arch).
I can also confirm that updating to plasma 5.8.0 has fixed the issue (I am also on Arch)
Great to hear! Closing now.
