SUMMARY As in subject. I have 2 displays connected to my PC. First is monitor (primary screen) and second projector, which usually is working in standy mode. Plasma detected both. I tested this issue with two live distributions. I mean KaOS 2020.02 (Plasma 5.18.1) and Manjaro 20 (Plasma 5.18.4). Also I tested this with older KaOS with Plasma 5.17. The same result. After plasma session was started I run System Setting and/or KInfoCenter and/or Konsole. Window of started application appeared on not primary screen. To use/get it I needed blindly catch and move (holding Alt) window to my primary screen or just turn on projector. BTW. Unfortunately icon of running application placed on bar where windows are minimized doesn't have option "Move to Screen", whereas this option is present in context menu of title bar of window. Therefore isn't comfortable move window to other screen. Sometimes after moving window to primary screen issue disappear. Sometimes after opening Display settings in System Setting issue disappear. I'm not sure what exactly it depends on. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Having two screens connected to PC. 1. Start live distribution like KaOS or Manjaro 2. Using Kickoff start System Settings or KInfoCenter or Konsole 3. OBSERVED RESULT Window appears on not primary screen. EXPECTED RESULT Window should appear on primary screen.

This bug was reported against an outdated version of KWin. We have made many changes since the. If the issue persists in newer versions can you reopen the bug report updating the version number.
This is in fact not even a bug; it's probably intentional behavior. Which screen is primary has no bearing on where windows open.
