Public bug reported:
WindowShuffler's window rules do not distinguish between normal windows
and dialog windows. As such, the behaviour of rules becomes very
inconsistent on secondary windows, up to rendering the feature unusable.
A potential solution might be to check for _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE as
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL and only then enforce the window rule.
The feature also interferes with Budgie Desktop Settings "Attach modal
dialogs to windows" and "Center new windows on screen".
Observed behaviour Nemo:
Nemo Preferences window (as an example of dialog window): First appears on
center of screen, too small in size. When resizing, content doesn't refresh
properly. After clicking into the window, jumps to the position specified by
the window rule.
Expected behaviour Nemo:
Dialog windows should not become subject of the window rule, should be
positioned according to the Budgie Settings (Windows) and should render
properly.
Observed behaviour Evolution:
Evolution Preferences window at first appears attached and centered to the
evolution main window. On focus change it changes size and position according
to window rules.
Expected Behavior Evolution:
Same as above.
Observed behavior FireFox:
Firefox Save Page As dialog opens as expected centered on main window in
reasonable size. It is sticky to the main window, even after focus change. All
other cases of settings etc. appear as tab in the main window, so no problem.
Expected behavior Firefox:
Observed behavior Firefox looks ok to me.
