Bug ID: 427068
Summary: [wayland] Xwayland apps don't respect "mouse selects
current screen"
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.19.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: kscreen-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: bartek1...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In my 3 monitor setup xwayland apps always start on the left screen. This
produces multiple problems. The most annoying one is steam games. They always
start on the most left monitor. Even if a game has a setting to change the
monitor e.g. "Battlerite" it doesn't. Apps like spotify and others also start
on the most left screen.
On X11 there's a setting for a main monitor that the games will run from. From
what I've heard it doesn't make sense on wayland from technical point of view.
But from user point of view I can't run games on the monitor I want + apps
start on the most left monitor that could be TV for example which can be
annoying.
Wayland apps, such as kate or firefox in wayland mode respect that setting and
start on monitor that mouse is on.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Spotify(any xwayland app)
OBSERVED RESULT
App starts on the most left screen
EXPECTED RESULT
App should start on the screen that mouse is.
