Description Pierre Fortin 2022-04-20 01:10:52 CEST

Description of problem:  Thought I was seeing things... but after paying attention, I see that windows are automatically moved from my primary screen to the non-primary screen.  I keep certain apps (claws-mail, certain emacs and firefox windows) on the right screen, others on the left screen. I walk away from the system for a while. When I return, apps are now on the left screen.
Not sure how recently this started. I was just assuming I'd forgotten having may be moved them myself; but not that I'm paying attention, it's not me...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:  always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place windows on both screens
2. Let Power Management kick in
3. move mouse or hit a key
4. app windows on right screen have migrated to left screen

Screens:
  C27F390 HCNR702673      C27F390 HCPR803666
  1920x1080               1920x1080
  [X] Enabled             [X] Enabled
  [ ] Primary             [X] Primary

Thank you for the report.
Yet another Plasma quirk (like bug 30315)? (Please always say what desktop is involved in things like this).

For both of these bugs, I have to ask whether you have explored the KDE forums to see whether the problem is seen elsewhere.

If another Bugsquad person has a system on which the complaint can be verified (with 2 screens + power management), please do. I cannot.

Just noticed this is for Cauldron, so assigning it directly to the KDE team.

Slight improvement for konsole windows...  instead of moving entire konsole window to left screen, now the konsole is split 25%|75%...   still have to move konsole back on every desktop; but now they are not hidden -- easier to move back.

One screen is on UPS. Only saw this when power flickered.  I have totally disabled power management (screens stay on 24/7); so not sure if this still exists.

Resolution: (none) => OLD
