as a workaround for now, you can add below code to ~/.bash_profile and relogin

export QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_FIXED_POSITIONS=1

https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwayland/+/414911 this is PR that creates bug in KDE, i think that we need to wait till KDE adjust to that

Thanks, that worked. I created ~/.config/environment.d/10-waylandfix.conf with QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_FIXED_POSITIONS=1 as recommended by the archwiki.

Edited to clarify

@kudlatyamroth’s suggestion works (thank you, I’d resigned myself to waiting for an update).

I initially tried the ArchWiki-suggested approach suggested by @darcmage but it didn’t work. I’ll assume my noob status had me following incorrect steps;

I created the environment.d folder, as one did not exist in ~/.config, and subsequent envvars.conf file, pasted export QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_FIXED_POSITIONS=1 into said file, saved, logged out of my X11 session and into a Wayland session—no go.

The updated qt5-wayland package is in Stable and Unstable but not Testing at the moment and now in Testing too, so the workaround should no longer be needed in all three branches.

Can confirm after update (just now)—removed workarounds, logged out/in, all’s well.
