Wayland
Classification: Plasma

video demonstration
SUMMARY
All Chrome windows (except the very few that use platform decorations such as
the first launch window) are moving slightly down and right upon switching to a
desktop and then *sometimes* snap back to the original position. Other times a
window gets stuck and I have to interact with the window to make it snap back
(during which time everything inside it is frozen including videos; clicking is
enough to make it snap back). It is hard to describe so I have attached video
where I am switching desktops and you can see how the Chrome window
unexpectedly moves. This happens regardless if the window is tiled and it
happens without any window rules being applied.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Chrome
2. Switch to another desktop
3. Switch back to the original desktop
OBSERVED RESULT
Chrome window sometimes snaps back to the original position.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be no movement of the window.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This worked fine in a prior version of Kwin. Unfortunately I do not have the
version number that I was on prior to 6.6.3.
Also note the flickering artefact between the content and the main toolbar
which could be an issue for Chromium but I do not know. It's also possible this
window placement bug is Chromium/Wayland interaction issue. I also tried
disabling window effects like wobbly and transparency.
I ran a new Chrome instance with a completely new profile (--user-data-dir
argument) and the issue persisted because Chrome now defaults to Wayland. When
I used XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 with that, the issue was not there. So it is to do
with Wayland.
