Is there a knows bug with QApplication::desktop()->screenNumber(this) reporting the wrong screen?

I've got a bit of an odd setup with 3 different sized monitors in my work configuration. But I've noticed what appears to be a bug in the Qt desktop screen code.
When my mainwindow is initially shown on one of the secondary screens.
qApp->desktop()->screenNumber(this) will still return 0 for the main screen even though the window is on one of the other two screens. Of cause giving the screenNumber call a QPoint will give the correct screen number.

    auto globalCenter = this->mapToGlobal(this->geometry().center());
    screenIdx = qApp->desktop()->screenNumber(globalCenter);

So this is a possible workaround. But calling showFullScreen will incorrectly show the mainwindow in full screen mode on screen 0 effectively moving the window to another monitor in this case. I've had to resort to this kind of hackery to get around this issue:

void MainWindow::toggleFullscreen()
{
    // ensure winow is on the correct screen before going full screen
    auto screenIdx = mApp().desktop()->screenNumber(this);
    if (screenIdx >= 0 && screenIdx < QGuiApplication::screens().count()) {
	auto* screen = QGuiApplication::screens()[screenIdx];

	if (screen && windowHandle()->screen() != screen)
	  windowHandle()->setScreen(screen);
    }
    ...

Is this a previously known error or am I missing something here?

Are you aware of Qt's bug tracking system JIRA?
There you can check also for bugs.

@koahnig I did search the Qt bug tracking system before. But it's huge and I'm probably not creative enough to come up with fitting search terms as I can't find anything on this. Just hoping someone else have run into this before and can confirm it's a Qt bug and not me.

I know this problem. ;)
I have never found an index in a book stating "the solution to your problem is on page xx".
Add a tag to multi-screen. There is also another post to a bug, but probably unrelated.
