            Bug ID: 345453
           Summary: Startup menu misplaced and drag and drop broken after
                    screen configuration change
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 5.2.1
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
               URL: http://luniks.net/other/KDEScreenIssue.jpg
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: dode at luniks.net

I am frequently changing screen configuration between just the laptop screen or
large external screen + laptop screen.
When switching from laptop screen only to external screen + laptop screen, the
settings are applied correctly but there are two issues:
- The startup menu is misplaced, it seems its position is constrained by the
laptop screen resolution even though the primary desktop now is the external
screen (see screenshot)
- Drag and drop and other drag operations are broken, when i.e. dragging files
they are often dropped unless the mouse is moved extremely slowly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run on laptop screen only
2. Connect external screen, settings are applied
3. Open startup menu and try to i.e. drag some file from one place to another

Actual Results:  
- Startup menu is misplaced
- While dragging, the content is often dropped unless the mouse is moved very
slowly

Expected Results:  
- Startup menu should be placed normally
- Drag and drop should work normally

The misplacement of the startup menu can be fixed by going in the Display
settings and toggling some setting, i.e. move the laptop screen, apply, move it
back and apply again.

This unfortunately does not fix the drag and drop issue.

Restarting and logging in directly to the configuration with the external
screen solves the problem.
