Parachute swaping screens in multi monitors #80

Open DenysMb opened 3 years ago

DenysMb commented 3 years ago

Hi, I'm using Parachute with three monitors, the disposition are DisplayPort-0 (2), HDMI-A-0 (1) and DisplayPort-1 (3). When I open the Parachute, the DisplayPort-0 (2, the screen from the LEFT) and HDMI-A-0 (1, the screen from the CENTER) swap between then. The windows from HDMI-A-0 shows in DisplayPort-0 and the windows from DisplayPort-0 show in HDMI-A-0.

When I record videos with simplescreenrecorder, the number os the monitors are 2, 1 and 3. So, I think that the bug is something related to this, to show always on the order from 1, in left, to N, in the right. (And in my setup the disposition is not 1, 2 and 3 but 2, 1 and 3. I think that is because of this that the bug occurs).

I had the same issue. In Kwin scripts settings, I disabled Parachute, applied, re-enabled Parachute, applied, and it sorted it out.

Parachute tends to behave rather weird with multiple monitors. Could you guys please check if restarting KWin (by typing kwin_x11 --replace & into a terminal or KRunner) fixes it? Also have a look at #94 and #97, I have a feeling that these 3 bugs might be related. I am not saying this is a duplicate, it clearly isn't, but the fix for one might fix all 3.

@tcorreabr I have a suggestion, an idea: having issue tags like "multimonitor" and "background", etc; it might make it easier to sort issues related to a certain aspect of Parachute.
