Greetings, this is a bit difficult to explain, so bare with me.

I have an external monitor (more or less always) attached to my laptop. The layout is set so that the external monitor is above my internal (laptop). The laptop screen is my primary display. I also have the layout where my panel is in the top of my laptop screen, somewhat then in the middle of the laptop and the external monitor.

External monitor

^^ Panel ^^

If having the panel set to "always visible" it's hard, almost impossible to drag a window (application) from my laptop screen up to the external. Same goes while within my external screen moving a window, it "jumps down" to the laptop even though I'm just moving the window left & right.

Setting the panel to for instance "auto hide" the problem goes away. This however is not my preferred choice.

It would seem the problem always occurs then the panel is "in between" the two displays, so even in a "left and right display layout" and the panel on the edge facing the other display suffer from this behavior.

Anyone else seen this ?
Could't find an open bug, hence this post.

TIA,
Jonas

Hi. I have same problem. But i have configuration like this:

Code: Select all

|                              |panel   |                              |
 |            1                 |        |              2               |
 |                              |        |                              |
 |                              |        |                              |


I was found several cases that can partially solve it.
1) change panel position to bottom and then move panel back (to position between monitors). after that windows can be moved to right screen, but if window in fullscreen mode - it have right padding (that's like allocated space for pannel)
2) remove border for window and this window can succesfully moved
but any solutions like this - not good for me

I think whit bug related to

Hi
I found one more solution: if to move window use the ALT key - then all works fine. bug reproduced only when window moved by hader/titlebar
May be anybody know how to fix it?
Thx

Did you ever find a solution for this? I just upgrade from 5.7 something to 5.8, and now I can no longer move or resize windows on 1 of my 3 monitors.

Additionally, the task manager doesn't seem to know which window it is on anymore - at least on the monitor where I can't remove or resize my windows.

The alt trick works, as does using the more options -> move option.

But normal move doesn't work, and normal resize only lets me resize vertically, not horizontally. It seems to think that the mouse has moved off the edge of the screen.

My monitors are arranged with 1 on top, and two monitors below, slightly offset to the right.

Code: Select all

Like the above.

Monitor 1 works fine. Monitor 3 works fine - except that the task bar keeps getting confused about which monitor it is on, and won't show any apps unless I turn off the per-monitor filter.
Monitor 2 does not allow me to move any windows, and the task bar also shows nothing unless I turn off the per-monitor filter.

I upgraded to 5.8... cause I thought multi-monitor support was supposed to get better. Sigh.

My luck with KDE: (works great with multiple monitors for years) -> suddenly can no longer remember which monitor is which after each restart -> can no longer move windows. I'm terrified of the next "upgrade"....
