Doc Text: |
On a system with dual screens enabled, selecting the "Cascade" window placement option in the KDE Control Center and opening a new window on the second screen could cause KWin to consider the new window off screen, and thus change the window placement back to "Smart". This update corrects the window placement algorithm to take into account the position of the screens, so that the "Cascade" window placement now works on both screens.
