I would like to add some more details about my setup: I have a laptop with a 4K display and I use a second 4K external monitor. I have enabled the 200% scalling and `xrandr -q | grep -E '\bconnected' `gives DP-0 connected 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 609mm x 349mm DP-2 connected primary 3840x2160+0+2160 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm ie: the external monitor is set at 0,0 (on top) and the laptop monitor is set at 0,2160 (on bottom) I created a minimal project that shows the problem in this setup https://github.com/printesoi/kwindowsystem-workarea-test and without the patch the results I get from the code above is (I have a 32px panel on the bottom of the primary (laptop) screen): QRect KWindowSystemPrivateX11::workArea(int desktop): QRect(0,0 1920x2128) QRect KWindowSystemPrivateX11::workArea(const QList<WId> &exclude, int desktop): QRect(0,0 960x1588) REPOSITORY R278 KWindowSystem REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D29569 To: printesoi, davidedmundson, #kwin, zzag Cc: kde-frameworks-devel, LeGast00n, cblack, michaelh, ngraham, bruns
