...if target screen scale does not correspond to the scale/resolution of the screen whos origin is equal to overall origin of multi-screen setup. SUMMARY Window position rules are not enforced correctly if scales (xrandr) differ between screens in a window STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Generate window position and screen rules for application (e.g. dolphin, 500x500, screen 0). 2. Set the position and screen rules to FORCE. OBSERVED RESULT Window is positioned correctly at 500x500 upper left corner in single screen setup or in a multi-screen setup if the screens have same scale/resolution. Window is position incorrectly at a relative position probably determined from that screens scale who's origin corresponds to overall setup origin. EXPECTED RESULT Window position should be determined considering scale differences between single screens in a multi-screen setup.
