Bug ID: 470318
Summary: Wayland: window positioning lost on application
restart
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: rocketra...@gmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
In Wayland, when an application starts, it always starts in the middle of the
center monitor, regardless of where it was positioned when it was shut down.
This is most annoying for applications for which users routinely have multiple
positions opened, carefully positioned. This includes browsers like Firefox and
Chrome, and IDEs and editors like Kate and IntelliJ IDEA.
This is not an issue in X11. Applications always start up with the same monitor
positioning, and window size/positioning
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In a Wayland session, start Firefox (configure Firefox to re-open previous
Windows and tabs on restart)
2. Move a window to the left (or open multiple windows, and move them around
the scrreen and resize them)
3. Shut down Firefox
4. Restart Firefox
Same goes for Chrome or IntelliJ IDEA or Dolphin or anything else.
OBSERVED RESULT
The Firefox window, or windows, are all positioned at the center of the primary
screen.
EXPECTED RESULT
The Firefox windows should all open up at their previous positions, and on the
same screens they were on when Firefox was shut down.
