Font Dropdown Displays in Wrong Location on Wayland with Multimonitor setup

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Use computer setup with more than 1 monitor (I'm using 3 monitors)
  2. Log in to a KDE 6.1.3 session.
  3. Open Inkscape (using version 1.3.2)
  4. Use the text tool and start typing a font name into the drop down.

What happened?

The list of fonts is displayed, but shows up on the wrong monitor. This issue only happens when using a Wayland session. With a X11 session, the list appears under the dropdown UI.

What should have happened?

The list of fonts should be displayed near/under the drop down UI.
