SUMMARY
I have two monitor. One the laptop's builtin another external monitor connected via HDMI. They are both the same resolution (1920x1080), the latter one being the primary monitor. The placement its coherent within boots, where the builtin one is on the right and the external one on the left. 
But at every startup i have to misplace them and then replace them because weird things happens. I have a panel on the primary monitor, and at every startup the app launcher and the app previews show on the non primary monitor at my right. Only when i misplace and replace the thing is fixed but its very annoying, because this also mess with the app launcher configs. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a dual monitor and a panel on the primary
2. Reboot
3. Cry a bit

OBSERVED RESULT
The attachment shows how the app preview shows on the monitor on the right

EXPECTED RESULT
The things being showed on the primary monitor

Dont know why was moved to plasmashell. Kscreen seems to be the culprit. Disabling it and using at its place some custom xrandr scripts before startup resolves the issues
Comment 3 Christoph Feck 2020-11-01 14:21:51 UTC
It is possible that plasmashell interprets the kscreen change notifications wrong.
