Some windows always open on secondary screen
Hi everybody, I'm having this weird behavior that some windows always open on the secondary screen of my two-screen setup. One example is Dolphin, which insists on opening on my left screen even if the right screen is the primary one *and* the cursor is on the right screen when I open it. The first thing I do is to drag it to the right screen, but the next time I open it, it is on the left screen again. This has been going on for months, but lately I read that the recent KDE release (5.23) would fix this behavior. Unfortunately, it made things worse!! Now I have my Application Dashboard (KDE full screen launcher) opening on the left screen too! Even if the "button" to open it is on the right screen! The only moderately unusual thing I have in my setup is that the left screen has a lower resolution with respect to the right screen. Left is 1680x1050 while right is 1920x1080. How can I fix this behavior? Anybody else in the same boat? Thank you in advance Cris

Thank you Simon.
I forgot to say that I'm using openSuse Tumbleweed, too.
I'm updated to version 20211016.
