Picture of my file manager displaying the spawning problem. Monitor 1 shows
Dolphin opened and Monitor 2 shows screen 2 with Vivaldi open. You can see the
tooltip spawning on screen 2.

SUMMARY

I use two monitors on a desktop PC. I am only using a window manager (awesome)
on a barebones Arch that I mostly did from scratch. I have noticed some
unwanted behavior in the Dolphin file manager when using dual monitors. When I
launch Dolphin on my primary screen with tooltips enabled and go to turn my
monitors off, I have noticed that the tooltip window is spawning on my
secondary monitor! I am not sure if this is a hardware problem or if it has
something to do with my window manager.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Dolphin on your primary (for me it would be my left) screen
2. Turn the primary monitor (or both) off then turn the screen back on


OBSERVED RESULT
The tooltip window spawns on the secondary monitor after turning both monitors
back on via the power button.

EXPECTED RESULT
The tooltip window should stay in its proper place and not spawn onto the other
monitor.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Would anyone confirm this or at least let me know what might be causing this
behavior? I installed Arch about two weeks ago, so the system is still new.
