Description
Bug Description
These are my display arrangements and the order I would expect when moving a window to the next / previous display in a clockwise direction, as illustrated below:
In this layout, I expect the window to move between displays following the clockwise order shown by the numbered arrows.
Actual behavior
However, this is what actually happens:
The window traversal order does not follow the physical clockwise arrangement of the displays and instead jumps between displays in an unintuitive order.
Affected Scope
User interface
Steps to Reproduce
- I think you may need at least 4 displays for test.
- Arrange displays in two lines.
- Move window to next display/previous display.
Reproducibility
Always
Expected vs Actual Behavior
Expected behavior
When moving a window to the next or previous display, the window should follow the physical display layout in a clockwise order.
Actual behavior
When moving a window to the next or previous display, the window moves between displays in a non-clockwise and unintuitive order.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with at least four displays arranged in two lines, then test the Next and Previous display actions. Trace the display traversal behavior and compare it with the physical clockwise arrangement shown in the issue. Done means window movement follows that clockwise order in both directions without breaking other layouts.
