[Bug 1947434] Re: Windows always open across monitors in a multi-monitor setup
This setting (center-new-windows) was already set to false. I have Gnome Tweaks installed and this was one of the first settings I checked. This setting can be true or false; it has no effect. Curiously, the behavior changes if I use the "Dash to Dock" extension instead of the "Ubuntu Dock". With "Dash to Dock", the app window remembers it's size and position better (i.e. If I move the window to the primary monitor and resize it, it opens up at the same size and place). With "Ubuntu Dock" enabled, the window always seems to randomly open on the secondary monitor, or get resized, or straddles the two displays as previously reported. Firefox and Terminal, in particular, always open with their window straddling the two displays. If I move the app window to the primary monitor, close it and reopen it, it goes back to straddling the displays. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1947434 Title: Windows always open across monitors in a multi-monitor setup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1947434/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected wayland-session ** Description changed: I have a laptop (Dell XPS 13 9300) connected to an external USB-C monitor (Dell U2719DC). Ubuntu 21.10 Impish is installed, although this problem existed under Ubuntu 21.04 too. If I log in using Wayland (the default), the initial window position of any app is always in the middle (half on the internal display and half on the external monitor). No setting that I have found appears to be able to change this behavior. - If I switch to Xorg, this problem does not exist. With Xorg, the app - window always opens on the primary monitor (the external one, in my - case). This is the preferred behavior. + If I switch to Xorg, this problem does not exist.
