destroyed layout, when the main screen is on the right

SUMMARY
Sorry for the old Version of Kmail. At the moment I use Opensuse and I have no time, to install something else.

Kmail doesnt display well on my multi monitor setup. Left the laptop screen, right the external monitor. Native the laptop has 3840x2160, but I use 1920x1080, when the external monitor is plugged in. The external monitor has 3840x2160 and is the main display.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. multi monitor setup, main screen on the right
2. start kmail


OBSERVED RESULT
The layout is destroyed (look at the screen). I guess, the sub windows use the global koordinates, the main window uses the main display koodinates. If I put the 2nd screen virtually to the right and the 1st (=main) screen to the left, then all works fine.

EXPECTED RESULT
Correct Layout, also when the main screen is on the right.

Hello

After nobody wrote here, that it will be tested on an actual KDE, I downloadad an Kde neon live iso with Kde 5.20.4 . There wasnt the display error anymore.

Thats why I close my opened issue and hope, this is the right way to proceed.

Best regards
Falk
