Description Fabian Köster 2017-01-14 10:18:49 UTC
I am trying the Plasma 5.9 Beta with Wayland and it works really good so far, you did a really good job, thank you!

I am very much looking forward to change to it by default for daily use and therefore test it a lot. 

Until now, I noticed only one major bug on my setup: I have two monitors and the "DELL" monitor should be the primary and the other ("ViewSonic VP2250wb") shoud be _left_ of it. I configured it that way on X11 some day (or it was the default) and it is working perfectly there. When starting a Plasma Wayland session, the arrangement is inversed, i.e. Plasma expects the secondary monitor on the _right_ of "DELL". (See attached screenshot).

When I correct the positioning in systemsettings (see 2nd screenshot) and apply the change, the positioning is changed but the mouse cursor is trepped on the secondary ("VP2250wb", now left) screen.

I am using Qt 5.7.1. Please let me know if you need more information, if I should perform more tests and/or apply patches.

Thanks for the bugreport! Unfortunately, I don't have a patch ready to fix the behavior right now, but we'll keep it in mind!

Can you still reproduce this issue?

I am not using Plasma at the moment so I cannot tell if this issue still exists, sorry.

Because apparently no one else observed this issue, I am closing this ticket.
