Bug ID: 436926
Summary: Primary screen picking from SDDM is extremely
unreliable
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: myles.jon.gor...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I boot up my PC, I have to be so careful not to move my mouse the wrong
way so that when Plasma loads, it doesn't pick my secondary monitor as the
primary monitor. There must be some better way to implement this. When I turn
on my PC from suspended, nearly always it picks my secondary monitor for the
mouse to be on, and even when I go over to my main monitor and enter my
password there, Plasma picks my actual secondary monitor as the primary. It's
pretty much a gamble what will be the primary monitor when I boot up my PC or
turn on from suspend. I am using Wayland.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot up PC and load up SDDM
2. Be extremely careful where my mouse is placed
1. Boot up PC from suspend
2. Pretty much always my secondary monitor is picked as the primary, despite it
being my main monitor before I suspended it.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would just like for my main monitor to always be my primary monitor. I set
this in System Settings, but it seems like SDDM wants to pick my primary
monitor rather than me manually pick it.
