Bug ID: 490691
Summary: Some Apps Ignore the Open Under Mouse Cursor Setting
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.1.3
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
Some wayland apps such as Dolphin and Yakuake seem to ignore the open under
mouse setting in system settings. May be related to this bug that was fixed in
6.1.3 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488110
The solution to that other bug report appears to work most of the time.
However, I noticed that when switching between virtual desktops using using
keyboard shortcuts, scroll wheel, etc. If the mouse is located on my right
monitor. Dolphin and Yakuake will open up on the first monitor instead. Most
other apps seem to obey the setting though.
Lastly, I have also noticed that Firefox also exhibits this behavior, but it
always seems to be doing its own thing.
1. Open system settings -> window management -> window behavior -> advanced tab
2. Set Window Placement to be under mouse.
3. Move mouse to right monitor which in my case is the non primary monitor.
4. Switch virtual desktops with a keyboard shortcut or mouse scroll wheel.
OBSERVED RESULT
Windows open on my primary monitor and not the secondary monitor even though it
has the mouse on it, but unlike the other bug report. It doesn't seem to matter
what the last active screen was.
EXPECTED RESULT
The window should open under the mouse cursor. Even if it was moved to a
different monitor prior to switching to a different virtual desktop.
