SUMMARY
In a multi monitor setup the mouse clicks on a wrong screen, making multi
monitor setup useless.
Trying to screenshot(attached it here) the issue I realized one thing:
Flameshot, the screenshot software sees my monitors swapped. In reality, the
monitor with the blue selection rectangle is on the right and the red circles
show the location of the actual mouse cursor(the one on the right, with no
selection rectangle is the true location)
I have KDE on Manjaro in a Guest VM using open-vm-tools + VMware.
I did experience this also on the host, which is also Manjaro + KDE, although
I'm not experiencing it at this point on the host.
For me, the only workaround I found was to switch to Gnome or XFCE which don't
appear to have these issues, although it's not much of a workaround because I
miss KDE.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Manjaro + KDE guest VM in VMware Workstation
2. Cycle multiple monitors so it's expanded on 2 screens.
OBSERVED RESULT
Right click on the desktop and the dropdown will appear on a different screen
than the one expected.
EXPECTED RESULT
Click should be in sync with actual location of pointer.
