[systemsettings] [Bug 477680] Selecting a primary monitor in a multiple monitor setup enables the wrong monitor
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477680 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|WAITINGFORINFO |NOT A BUG Status|NEEDSINFO |RESOLVED --- Comment #5 from Nate Graham --- Cool, sounds like there's no bug to fix here. The issue with the arrows was an unrelated multiscreen panel positioning bug which has since been fixed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=477680 --- Comment #4 from cookiesandcream --- I will also add that I was confused about this behavior because I have never encountered this on plasma 5, and this is a fresh /home on plasma 6 which is why i thought it was a bug. Thanks for the help :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

You are right that I was trying to judge which monitor was primary based on the panel location. I tried moving the panel as you mentioned, and now the panel moves to the left monitor when it is selected as primary as expected. There is still confusing behavior where if I click one of the arrows after 'set position' on the second monitor, the panel moves to the corresponding position on the other monitor. I was able to move it with "manage desktops and panels" though. Is that something I should file a bug about? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
