Bug#691483: kde-window-manager: Tiling and xinerama: opening a new window lets all tiled windows jump to the monitor where the mouse pointer resides
Package: kde-window-manager
Version: 4:4.8.4-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
in xinerama mode with two side-by-side monitors and tiling enabled:
having tiled windows on the left monitor (e.g.) and opening a new window on the
right monitor lets all windows jump to the right monitor. The ordering of the
windows remains the same, the sizes are adjusted to the smaller monitor
resolution.
To move them all back, a new window needs to be opened on the left monitor,
which usually can be closed immediately (only once (but several times in a row)
all the windows jumped back to the previous monitor when I closed this
temporary window again)
Nice game, though ;)
I'd expect the windows to stay where they are.
For the new window two options may exist and may need an additional
configuration option:
a) have an independent tiling on each monitor or
b) let it float (which might be a case of a)
BR
