Bug ID: 458024
Summary: Change default position of external monitor when
extended left/right
Product: KScreen
Version: 5.25.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: kscreen-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When plugging an external monitor to a laptop with almost twice the resolution
that a built in monitor has, the default position of external monitor is such
as if laptop is placed at *top* left/right of the external monitor (they are
aligned at top).
In real world I believe most of users place laptop either below the external
screen if it is on a stand, or to *bottom* left/right.
Such default placement is not intuitive when one wants to move mouse from
external monitor back to laptop's screen (mouse stopps when hitting bottom part
of external monitor and can only be moved from the upper part). This then
requires opening display settings and manually adjusting placement of monitors
to resemble actual setup.
I believe that updating default placement of (bigger) external screen when
extedned left/right so that its aligned bottom with built-in monitor would be
more user friendly for users as it would resemble majority of actual setups.
This would also make for less required steps when reconfiguring displays in
cases where kscreen does not correctly load previous setup for same screen.
