Bug ID: 443480
Summary: Global Menu Activation Breaks When Using Two Monitors
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.22.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Global Menu
Assignee: k...@privat.broulik.de
Reporter: gardotd...@gmail.com
CC: mvourla...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If you use two monitors and have a panel with the Global Menu widget on each
monitor, it glitches out to where it will only follow one monitor. For example,
if I have Monitor 1 (Primary) and Monitor 2, if I open Dolphin, there will be
no Global Menu on Monitor 1. If I move it to Monitor 2, the Global Menu
activates on BOTH Monitor 1's panel and Monitor 2's panel. If I move Dolphin
back to Monitor 1, the Global Menu (on both monitors) disappears. If I delete
the Global Menu widget and re-add it, it will temporarily work as expected
(where the Global Menu activates when the app is on that monitor).
Actually now that I'm typing this I tried removing the second Global Menu and
the first one is still only following monitor 2.
It's hard to explain, so here's a video:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two monitors with a panel on each monitor
2. Add global menu to the main monitor's panel (or both panels)
3. For a short time it will work as intended, but it always reverts to this
behavior at some point (always after a reboot too from what I can tell)
OBSERVED RESULT
Global Menu follows the wrong display
EXPECTED RESULT
Global Menu follows the correct display
