Browser Window overlaps on second monitor

Greetings,

Im kind of new to the Linux world and installed eos with kde and wayland. Everything works so far. Except that annoying overlapping window when making the browser smaller. Can someone help me fix this?

I tried to switch to X11, but does not help. Changed to stock kde themes cause i thought that was it.

Look at my recording. The right side is a part of the second monitor and you can see the overlapping.

2 Monitors running 1440p on 120hz. Both with freesync.

System:

5800x3D RX7800XT 32GB RAM

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction to look at

If you go to System Settings -> Display. Can you take a screenshot and post that here?

You mean that screen?

Yep, that is the one. I just wanted to make sure that one of the monitors didn’t get stuck on top of the other. It was a problem I recalled a while back. You can try dragging one monitor away from the other just to be sure though. Although I don’t think that is the problem based on the screenshot.

Ah okay. Yes, I read about that when googling my way ^^ tried that already

One other thing you can do to truly see if it is a bug is to make a new user and see if it happens there.

Good call. Gave it a try and added a standard user. Still the same thing happens. The weird part is, its only happens on a internet browser like chromium or firefox

for example system settings window does not do that

Edit: And it does not happen the other way…so if I change window size on the right monitor it does not overlap to left monitor

Watching the bottom Plasma panel, it seems the window is correctly maximizing.
I am confused by your explanation. Is the video recording one monitor, or a predefined/custom area? How did you record?

My previous experience with Plasma multi-head (nightmare!) has similar issues. Those were usually created after doing modifications in System Settings/Display page (scaling, sync, etc.) and changing between x11 and wayland sessions. A complete mess (then) which was supposed to have been greatly improved from upstream devs (they say :man_shrugging: ). Too many config files with caching and more, a simple human cannot handle (talking about multi-monitor and special cases/configurations).

I would suggest you try to contain/understand the issue (what exactly happens, visually and technically), and if, during this investigation, you can’t find a workaround, report upstream KDE Bugs.
Don’t forget to search into journal logs for relevant messages. Keep a ruler :triangular_ruler: handy (dimensions :wink: ).

The recording is my main monitor and part of the second monitor (only a part of the second to see better in the recording).

Thanks for your answer. I will look into logs later and maybe ask in official kde forum. Will see. Looks like im pretty much alone with that :joy: i tried in eos and also on a clean arch Install. The same thing. So i guess its a kde issue like you said

Edith: maybe I give Gnome a shot and see what happens

Guys…i changed the animation speed to a little faster and that seems to fix my issue.

Marked as solved
