Hi,

since the update to plasma-desktop amd64 4:5.23.0-3, the Applications
dashboard no longer opens on the respective screen, but always on one
and the same screen. (exactly the same misbehavior was observed after
the mentioned update on two different machines running Debian/SID/KDE)

* Debian SID,
* KDE, multi-monitor setup
* for each screen there is a separate panel
* each of these panels has its own applications dashboard widget

Previously, the Applications dashboard was opened on exactly the screen
to which the panel/widget belonged.

Setting the screen via Alt+F3 / Special Window Settings did not work -
probably the identification of the window was insufficient, because
the direct Alt+F3 / "Move to Screen" menu entry worked, but this change
is of course not persistent.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
It's more annoying than you think at first ...
Thanks a lot.

Typo? 0-2 is the latest I see in Debian.

Given the version # and problems you cite, you seem to be using testing.
Kwin (for one) is on hold, waiting for Mesa. Currently, upgrading may
(will?) result in breakage of Plasma. It's probably best to wait for
the full KDE/Plasma suite to migrate to testing.

Alternatively, you /could/ downgrade to v5.21.* Be advised though, that downgrading isn't officially supported in Debian so if you attempt to
downgrade and things break even more, you get to keep all the parts.

Then you should already know; EXPECT breakage.

Hello to the round.

I hadn't found a workaround yet, and had switched to the classic
Applications menu in the meantime.

Today's update to plasma-desktop 4:5.23.2.1-1 has fixed this bug, great!
Many thanks to all those who were involved.
