u can see, on left monitor kickoff menu no discover result was shown, but the other one did

SUMMARY
Sometimes randomly only one Kickoff menu shows results from Discover, when having multi monitors and two kickoff widgets on both of my panels. Sometimes the Discover results appear from my main screen, sometimes they appear on the secondary screen

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Have two panels and two Kickoff menus on different monitors, start typing something that you know it's in the Discovery results

OBSERVED RESULT
Only one of the kickoffmenu shows the result, the other does not

EXPECTED RESULT
all kickoff should give results from Discover software centre

Did this work as expected in Plasma 6.4.5, or has it been broken for a while?
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-10-30 16:07:53 UTC
I can reproduce this issue. How odd. It's not screen dependent; only the first Kickoff works for this; the second and subsequent ones (wherever they're located) don't.

Hi Nate, thanks for your feedback.

Yeah, it's been present even in 6.4.0. I've gotten Kubuntu installed on my mom's laptop too, where Plasma 6.4.5 is the latest (no backports there), and I can reproduce the issue there aswell.
