similar behavior is on my system too.

Same issue on Kubuntu 21.04

yakuake -v

Comment 6 Peter Nunn 2021-12-09 03:04:59 UTC
I'm having the same issue on KDE neon. If you manually select Screen1 or Screen2 in the configurations it moves to the seleced screen, but seems to ignore the mouse location.

Same thing here. Interestingly, it does work when the mouse hovers over a window rendered via XWayland. However, windows rendered by Wayland (or mouse over the desktop) do not affect the Yakuake window placement.
Comment 10 George Diamantopoulos 2022-02-19 12:05:04 UTC
Still happening with:

Kernel: 5.15.24-gentoo
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Yakauke version 21.12.2

My experience is a little different to Raman Gupta's from above: the only way for yakuake to appear on the correct display for me is:
* Maintain an xwayland window open
* Run xwininfo in a terminal (I use yakuake for that, not sure if it's important)
* Click on the xwayland window to gather info for xwininfo
* Use the keyboard shortcut twice to retract and expand yakuake without movie the mouse at all
* Yakuake appears at mouse/xwayland window location

i.e. in my case, hovering over an xwayland window is not enough.

Do you have "Focus follows mouse" enabled? My Window activation policy is "Focus follows mouse (mouse precedence)" and also "Active screen follows mouse".
