https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=399801 --- Comment #4 from Nate Graham --- One potential problem with switching defaults is that sometimes the optimal choice isn't represented by any of them. In such a case, changing them around will simply benefit some at the expense of others, when what's really needed is more design work to arrive at something that's better for everyone (or at least most people). For example, while the "Under mouse" placement mode would solve the problem of the window opening on the wrong screen, you may not actually want it to be directly under the cursor, and a different placement mode within that screen may be preferable. There is currently (to my knowledge) no option for "always open new window on the screen with the mouse, but otherwise respect the specified Placement mode". One option I would personally like is "on the screen with the mouse cursor, centered, with additional windows cascading if more are opened." Such a thing is not possible today. Initial window placement is probably a subject that needs to be looked at more in depth by VDG rather than just changing the default settings from one to another. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

If we would change the setting those users would be unhappy. As it's not possible to have a default which suits everyone the current default is as good as changing. So we leave it as it is. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
