New windows does not get activated on active screen

Support Graphics & Display
1

Hello everyone,

after switching from X11 to wayland new windows will only appear on the primary screen, but not on the active screen anymore. I’m using currently 3 screens.

During research, I’ve found the setting ‘Active screen follows mouse’, which should change this behaviour, but sadly not on my configuration. :frowning:

What am I doing wrong?

Edit:
Ok, this misbehaviour seems to only have an affect on a few applications, like Kontact, KRunner and Yakuake? Other applications like Firefox do get activated on the active (correct) screen?! :confused: I’m confused :confounded:

Thanks in advance

Wayland and KDE don’t work well together yet, so applications that work well under Gnome (Firefox) are better than native KDE applications.

So unless you’re a developer, and want to spend time on contributing code to the KDE Wayland project: Stay away from it until it becomes the default

:man_shrugging:

Thank you.

Then I’m going with X11 instead
