Bug ID: 507538
Summary: Switching primary monitor switches desktop panels
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.4.3
Reported In:
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The screen each desktop panel is shown on appears to depend on the primary
monitor setting. When moving the primary monitor flag to a different screen,
the panels also get moved.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two screens connected to your computer
2. Set up different panels on each screen
3. "System Settings > Display & Monitor > Display Configuration > Device >
Primary": set primary monitor to the other screen
OBSERVED RESULT
Observe your panels being swapped. The panel of one screen is now shown on the
other monitor, and vice versa.
EXPECTED RESULT
Panels stay on the same monitor they were before. Or at least there is an
option to make the panel position independent of the primary monitor flag.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am regularly switching my primary monitor flag from the laptop screen to an
external display, because that's how Valve's Proton determines where to show
fullscreen games. Since in KDE Plasma this also moves my panel with the K-menu,
the systray and the notification area, and some games cannot be minimized when
in fullscreen mode and thus covers this panel, this makes my system
inaccessible, which is very inconvenient. It would be much nicer if the panels
stayed on the screen they are on, when switching the primary screen flag.
