Sorry about the potato quality, had to compress the video to somehow fit

So the popup from a widget on one screen's panel sometimes inappropriately appears on the other screen? Do I have that right?
Comment 3 Tarballwalf 2023-02-22 06:04:08 UTC 
Correct. Along with the panels not getting properly sized, it's hard to replicate. The panel itself remains at the same old resolution (in terms of witdh), and the components shift to the right side without the panel itself extending its blur effect

Video might not work in a browser. Best download and play with vlc.

Are the screens overlapping by one pixel when this happens?

When you experience the issue, you manually re-arrange screens and *ensure* that they're not overlapping, does it stop happening?

Screens do not seem to be overlapping, any way to properly check this?

I'm no longer able to replicate the issue. I have docked and undocked my laptop ~20 times, and couldn't be able to reproduce. 
I had a problem recently and had to completely reinstall my system, possibly fixing the issue

Hmm, all right, thanks. I'll un-dupe the other bug reports. because those might still be reproducible.
