SUMMARY When using an active stylus or touchscreen with multiple displays, the input is fed to both screens. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Connect at least 1 auxiliary display to a laptop with active stylus support and/or a touchsceen. 2. Use the touchscreen/active stylus on the laptop display OBSERVED RESULT The cursor moves and interacts with windows on both the laptop's built in display and the auxiliary display. When using an active stylus on apps such as Xournal the content on the other display gets scrolled up and down as the stylus moves. EXPECTED RESULT The input is only fed to the content on the laptop's built in display & the content on the other display remains unaffected.

Why was this bug moved to kwin? Please report this bug to xserver developers.
Because plasmashell wasn't the right place for it either, and not all of us are window manager developers with perfect insight into what layer of the stack a given bug lives in? BTW UPSTREAM is the correct resolution for bugs that are legitimate but upstream of KWin.
