Bug ID: 423263
Summary: Latte Dock Cannot Handle Multiple Displays
Product: lattedock
Version: 0.9.11
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: mvourla...@gmail.com
Reporter: toglk.opensou...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Whenever I log into my KDE Plasma 5 desktop session on my Manjaro KDE 19
installation I am faced with strange "display" issues.
The issue is that the "Latte Dock Settings" applet/window and an parts of my
notification tray DO NOT appear on the central monitor which is where I have
the Latte Dock located and it is set as my Primary Monitor/Screen.
Instead the Notification Tray Pop-Up/Drop-Down arrow, when pressed makes the
Notification Box appear on the monitor to the right of my primary display, and
not only does it appear on the wrong monitor, it also appears on the wrong end
of the monitor, it appears on the bottom left corner instead of the bottom
right corner.
Additional to this behaviour a second issue occurs. (These issues ARE 100%
related to each other and caused by the same underlying bug)
The second issue is this:
The "Latte Dock" Settings panel appears on the left-hand side of the monitor
that is left of the primary monitor, and, for some strange reason if you have
placed your Latte Dock onto the left or right hand side of the primary monitors
display and then open up the settings for Latte Dock and then hover off of the
"Latte Dock Settings" panel/options menu and instead focus on any other part of
the desktop you cannot actually get the "Settings" menu to appear at all,
literally nowhere to be seen.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have 3 or more monitors connected to your system
2. Have Latte-Dock setup as a "Dock" and attached to the central monitors
bottom location (The central monitor is the primary monitor).
3. Click the Notification Tray arrow on the Latte-Dock and watch as it appears
on the left side of the 1st monitor (The monitor left of the primary/central
monitor).
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2, Right-Click the Latte-Dock and select the "Dock
Settings" option, set the Docks location to the left or right instead of the
bottom.
5. Click the desktop so that the settings window disappears, then Right-click
the Latte-Dock again and select "Dock Settings" again, notice that no
"Settings" window/menu appears.
OBSERVED RESULT
Notification Tray appears in the wrong location, "Settings" menu appears in
wrong location or doesn't appear at all.
EXPECTED RESULT
Notification Tray appears above where it is located on the primary display.
Settings menu appears.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: N/A
macOS: N/A
Linux/KDE Plasma: Yes? It is Kernel 5.6.16-1 Manjaro
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70.0
Qt Version: 5.15.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A temporary per-session fix is to turn off the monitors and then turn them back
on, this seems to reset the location of the Latte-Dock Notification Tray
parameters and causes the Notification Tray to display correctly, it also
simultaneously fixes the issue with the "Settings" menu.
This is my first ever bug report, I hope I have provided the information
correctly and cleanly.
Thanks,
