Weird window behavior on second monitor

General system Newbie
1

Hey guys,

its me again :smiley: i installed fresh eos+plasma yesterday. Running on wayland. When there is a program on my second monitor on fullscreen and I minimize a window on my first monitor, the program on the second isnt scaling right. See the video.

Can someone point me in the right direction of the arch wiki to look at? :slight_smile: Heres the outcome of inxi from eos log tool:

I doubt the wiki will help with this one. I think we would be better off seeing if other people can reproduce this issue.

For what it is worth. It isn’t happening for me on Plasma 6.2 beta. I have an nvidia graphics card though.
