Bug ID: 467182
Summary: Cannot pan zoom area to certain locations when using
KWin Zoom plugin with certain multi-monitor
configurations
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: multi-screen
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: theplexg...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When using certain multi-monitor setups where the monitors aren't physically
aligned with one another (e.x: different sizes, one monitor is physically
higher than the other, etc.), it can be impossible to pan the KWin zoom area to
small areas on the edges of certain monitors. For example, having two monitors
where one on the left sits lower than one on the right, you won't be able to
move the zoom area to see a small region at the top of the lower monitor.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable the Zoom plugin and set the movement mode to Push.
2. Plug two monitors into the device, arrange them such that the left monitor's
top edge is lower than the right's.
3. Attempt to move the mouse to the top of the left monitor after moving it to
the bottom of the left monitor.
OBSERVED RESULT
Although your cursor will move as expected, the zoom area will stop at a
certain threshold based on how mis-aligned the monitors are. This means you
won't be able to see that region on-screen since it'll be cut off by the edge
of the zoom area.
EXPECTED RESULT
The zoom area should pan such that any region on the workspace may be visible,
just like how it would if all displays were the exact same size and orientation
and were perfectly aligned with one another.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I apologize in advance for both formatting issues and if this is a duplicate
bug. I'm severely visually impaired which is why I rely on Zoom plugin in the
first place. I did search for bugs related to multi-monitor and zoom panning
but couldn't find any in the few dozen results I did read.
