KDE Plasma Wayland Notifications/Startmenu/Tooltips wrong position after update

Hello, after today’s update, under KDE Plasma Wayland all notifications appear in the upper left corner of the main screen (I have a 2 monitors setup) although they are set to lower right. The menu X and application launcher (start menu) also appear in the upper left corner of the main screen also the start menu of the 2nd screen appears there. All tolltips from the systremtray icons appear at the top of the screen(see screenshots).

This was not the case before today’s update.

Same here. I have 2 monitors, menu and taskbar on right monitor (my main monitor), but both appears on left corner of left monitor. Except this visual change, everything works correctly.

Same problem here. I’m also on Wayland.

I have 2 monitors and my task bar is vertical on the left side of the left (main) monitor.

Since this morning, the last update seem to work perfectly except for the position on the monitor of the menu and the notification. They appear on the top left. of my second monitor.
No idea how to fix it.
Thx

There is some discussion in the stable update thread saying this is due to Wayland.

Try to delete KDE menu, then add the same KDE menu.

An update to qt5-wayland has landed that fixes the issue. Update your Manjaro and no workaround is needed.

Fixed for me after the minor update of Qt5
