Bug ID: 408382
Summary: Desktop focus rules when pressing the meta key with
multiple monitors
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: rules
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nickagodrid...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Looking online, Kwin seems to ignore primary/secondary monitor rules when
deciding which monitor to open a windows, and instead chooses which display to
open a window in by which display is in focus via mouse. However, opening an
application via the app menu through the meta key seems to ignore this rule,
either because it switches focus to the other desktop (strange because it does
not even have a panel) or some other type of focus rule in engaged when the
meta key is pressed. Applications opened via keyboard shortcut or Krunner open
as expected, however anything opened via application menu is sent to the
"wrong" monitor
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. With two monitors connected in extend mode, move mouse into monitor where
the panel lives
2. Open the application menu, either via mouse or with the meta key
3. Open any application
OBSERVED RESULT
Application window is sent to the monitor that is not in focus
EXPECTED RESULT
Application is opened on the desktop that was in focus when the application
menu was opened, either via mouse or meta key.
