Are you using the Wayland session or the X11 session?

Both :
- On X11, apps switch to left screen at standby.
- On wayland, apps switch to left screen at restart.

When restarting the computer, or the monitor?

Thanks. That's probably a different issue; can you open a new bug report for it? Let's use this for the X11 issue.

The bug still occurs.

It's NOT specifik to wayland or X11.

Even installing new application, they open by default on LEFT screen so is it possible to make that when you select in system properties "Display and Screen > Right screen > make it MAIN" to really make it main the way that BY DEFAULT, if there is no momery of windows position (as for a NEW application), it opens by default in MAIN screen witch is RIGHT screen ?

Even in wayland or x11.
