            Bug ID: 468260
           Summary: Regression: "workspace.clientArea(KWin.MaximizeArea,
                    client)" returns wrong values (AKA "Move Window" KWin
                    script broke)

SUMMARY

Since the latest KDE Plasma (5.27.3) was installed on my Manjaro Linux, the
"Move Window" KWin script broke (i.e. it's not behaving properly).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Install this KWin script https://store.kde.org/p/1702170/
2. Go to KDE settings and enable that script. Observe it will map Super+Numpad
to actions to move the current window to one of the 9 locations on the current
screen (top/middle/bottom + left/middle/right).
3. Have two connected displays, and set then in a way that leaves some unused
area. For instance, the left display in the horizontal orientation and the
right display in the vertical one:

        .----.
        |    |
.-------|    |
|       |    |
'-------'----'

4. Focus on any window on the left display (or on either display).
5. Use Super+Numpad shortcuts to move the window.

OBSERVED RESULT

The window is moved to unexpected locations, places that are definitely not the
center. Sometimes the window gets moved off-screen (probably in that unusable
area).

EXPECTED RESULT

I should "just work", as it used to work in the previous KDE versions.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Graphics Plataform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This bug has also been reported here:
https://github.com/Merrit/kwin-move-window/issues/3
However, I believe the bug is in KDE itself, and not on that KWin script (as
that script is unchanged, while KDE got serious updates regarding multi-display
setups).
