RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Deepu K S 2017-01-26 14:34:00 UTC
Description of problem:
In case of multiple monitors, Alt-Tab (to switch application windows) has no effect on secondary monitors. 
Alt-tab on the primary xscreen 0 works as intended. Alt-tab on xscreen 1 through 3 has no effect.

Using a single X screen across all monitors allows alt-tab to work, but individual X screens per monitor is required for business use.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
kde-workspace-4.11.19-8.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to KDE session on a multi-monitor setup.
2. Open any application on screen 1 and then on screen 2.
3. Try to switch windows by Alt-tab.

Actual results:
Alt-Tab works on screen 0 (primary)
Alt-Tab switch doesn't work on secondary screens.

Expected results:
Alt-Tab switch should work on all screens.
