            Bug ID: 490919
           Summary: Having two different sizes monitors causes misplaced
                    popups in some applications
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux

          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

Created attachment 172064

Steam notification not at the bottom of the screen.

SUMMARY
I have two monitors, with different resolutions.
Left monitor with 1920x1080 and right monitor with 2560x1440. Both have the
same scaling of 100%.
The monitors are not aligned on the top or bottom, more like vertically
centered.
Both monitors have a panel on the top and the bottom.

With some applications (as far as I can tell mostly for xwayland applications),
when they need to create popups and those popups should appear on the lower or
upper edge of the screen, the popup instead appears where they would be
positioned, if they would appear on the smaller screen.
This only happens on wayland.

It's a bit hard to explain, will attach screenshots.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two monitors with different resolutions and same scaling
2. Have the smaller screen on the left (?)
3. Use wayland
4. Place panel at the top and the bottom of the smaller monitor
4. Have some applications open popups, like Steam with it's notifications or
IntelliJ with any popup.

OBSERVED RESULT
The popups are aligned with the constraints set by the smaller monitor instead
of the constraints of it's own monitor.


EXPECTED RESULT
The popups should appear at the correct place.
