It might work in a VM because that uses Xorg? I'd expect this to be more of a problem for Wayland (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2374). At least with X11, apps/toolkits can remember and enforce their window position. In Wayland they can't. I can't find any upstream reports saying that it works less now than in previous releases though.
