SUMMARY After installing the krunner extension "kwin" and running the "kwin debug console", the console window appears off-screen when using some mutli-monitor setups. The logic seems to be that the debug console appears in the top-left corner of the overall desktop space, but in my case I have two monitors side by side at a lower level and one above them, centered between the lower monitors. This causes the window to appear off the left edge of the top monitor. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open krunner, click the configure button, enter "kwin" in the search, enable it, close the dialog 2. open krunner, run the kwin debug console 3. observe the location of the debug console window 4. in system settings adjust left/right position a screen that lies above a lower screen Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.15.0-30-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB/PCIe/SSE2

Pushed by vladz into branch 'master'. wayland: Make debug console placeable Since the debug console has Qt.BypassWindowManagerHint flag set, it won't be placed or ensured that it stays in the work area. On the other hand, unlike X11, kwin won't have problems if the debug console is managed on wayland.

This is still broken -- plasma 5.27.11 on Kubuntu 24.04. I'll try to attach a screenshot but it's behaving as it did before.
