Bug ID: 405807
Summary: Affix the origin to the primary monitor on X11
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multihead
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com
Target Milestone: ---
The current behavior is that the origin is taken to be the upper-left corner
across all displays. If you have a secondary monitor on the left, this means
that that monitor becomes the primary one, because you windows will shift to
that display on connect.
The origin always shifts to the left-most monitor and this is what causes
unexpected and undesired behavior for the users.
This is the most serious issue for me on Kwin and I haven't observed this issue
on any other desktop. Why not affix the origin of the multihead assembly to the
center (or at least the left upper corner) of the primary monitor?
I don't know if this problem is resolved in Wayland or whether it's possible to
backport a fix to Kwin X11. Hopefully it can, since X11 will continue to be
relevant for at least a couple more years.
