Raspberry Pi OS • Re: Wayland - Wayfire window placement not working on dual monitor setup

Greetings

I am working on a personal project using opencv and a Rasberry Pi 5 with 64-bit Rasbian OS. Part of the project involves splitting an image in two and displaying each part on a seperate monitor, both of which are connected to the Pi using the dual HDMI ports

The thing is, despite spending hours following guides and instructions from various websites and forums, it has not been possible to either stretch a single opencv window over the two monitors nor position a second window on the second monitor (so it can be side by side with the one on the other monitor). I have applied the relevant configuration using wlr-randr and it all *appears* to be accepted yet on all cases the second window appears in the same desktop as the first one

Out of desperation I changed the display manager to X11 and Openbox via Raspi-config and then everything worked! I can both stretch an opencv window over two monitors or position a window on the second monitor. I want to know if this is a known bug with Wayland and whether it has been aknowledged by the developers as I always like to develop on the latest versions of software available but in this case reverting to X11 seems to be the only workaround.
I see nothing wrong with reverting to X11.
