The reason is that the Task Manager doesn't know which screen the app will be launched on. Only KWin knows that, and it's not practical or secure to build a side channel for the Task Manager to ask KWin about it. To be safe, the Task Manager shows the launch feedback everywhere. The Task Manager could make an educated guess. The problem is any such guesses would be wrong some of the time (e.g. due to window placement policies, window rules, moving the pointer to another screen before the window appears, etc.), and lead to infinite bug reports about those edge cases. So I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about this unless we bypass the issue by remove the launching animation from the Task Manager entirely. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
