SUMMARY

After updating to KDE Plasma 6.5.91 (Plasma 6.6 beta), the Application Launcher (Kickoff) consistently opens in the wrong corner of my secondary monitor when the laptop lid is closed. This does not occur when the lid is open.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- Connect a secondary monitor to a laptop running KDE Plasma 6.5.91.
- Close the laptop lid (using only the external display).
- Click the Application Launcher (Kickoff) icon.
- Observe that the launcher opens in an incorrect corner of the secondary monitor. (ankered bottom right, instead of bottom left). 
- Opening the laptop lid results in menu opened in right corner (bottom left)


OBSERVED RESULT

The launcher opens in the wrong corner of the secondary monitor when the laptop lid is closed.

EXPECTED RESULT

The Application Launcher should open in the correct corner of the active display, regardless of the laptop lid state.
