            Bug ID: 518722
           Summary: When using a multi-monitor setup, Okular fails to
                    remember its current screen position. If moved to a
                    different screen and minimized, maximizing the window
                    causes it to jump back to the initial screen where it
                    was first opened.
    Classification: Applications

Summary: When using a multi-monitor setup, Okular fails to remember its current
screen position. If moved to a different screen and minimized, maximizing the
window causes it to jump back to the initial screen where it was first opened.
Steps to Reproduce

    Setup a system with 3 monitors.

    Open Okular on Screen 3.

    Drag the Okular window to Screen 2.

    Minimize the window.

    Maximize/Restore the window via the taskbar.

Observed Result

The Okular window reappears on Screen 3 (the original screen) instead of
remaining on Screen 2.
Expected Result

The window should maximize on the same screen where it was located before
minimization (Screen 2).
Environment & System Info

    OS: Windows 11 25H2

    Application: Okular (Windows Version)

    Configuration: Taskbar set to "Show taskbar buttons on the taskbar where
the window is open."

Additional Notes

    The user suspects a potential conflict with the Windows taskbar setting
("Show only open windows on respective screen"). This behavior suggests a
failure in the window manager's coordinate persistence during the
minimize/maximize transition.
