Bug ID: 399801
Summary: [usability] Default configuration: "Active screen
follows mouse"
Product: kwin
Version: 5.14.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When multiple monitors are connected KWin assumes the active screen, where to
currently (or last) active window is located. This default behavior may confuse
users when they are using different Window placement settings.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Disable Active screen follows mouse ("Window Behavior" -> Focus).
2. Change Window Placement to "Under Mouse" for example. ("Window Behavior" ->
Advanced)
3. Focus on window on a monitor
4. Open a new window on a different monitor
OBSERVED RESULT
New window opens on the corner of the "active" screen (where the last focused
window is).
EXPECTED RESULT
Setting should be enabled by default.
SOFTWARE VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.0
Qt Version: 5.12.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.50.0
