Bug ID: 474730 Summary: Window placement "Centered" doesn't work correctly Classification: Plasma Product: kwin Version: 5.27.7 Platform: Debian unstable OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: m...@familie-heinz.name Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When having window placement set to "Centered" new windows should be always centered. This doesn't work correctly. Newly starting e.g. konsole puts it centered on the screen, but when opening another window of konsole the new window is not centered, but cascade slightly right-down below. This is either an undocumented feature (that should be configurable) or a bug. This was tested with a new user on a clean session with window placement set to "Centered" (which was the default) and allowing applications to handle the window placement on their own switched off. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set window placement to "Centered" 2. Start konsole 3. Use e.g. the shortcut in konsole to open more windows. OBSERVED RESULT The first konsole window will get centered, the second maybe, but then they get cascaded. EXPECTED RESULT All windows get centered, when window placement is set to "Centered". (And if the application itself is not allowed to control their own positioning on the screen). --- Yes, I have seen https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58063 and other reports that this might be intentional. But it is not documented. And I find it very VERY annoying to have something named "Centered", which doesn't actually center. So either call it "smart center" or document it somewhere, where it is obvious what will happen. And add an option where new windows are always centered. (Yes I like my windows centered. All of them.) Many thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
