--- Comment #6 from Krystian Kacprzak <krystian.kacprzak...@gmail.com> ---
Do I understand correctly, that under current implementation, if:
1. The menu is wide enough, or
2. There aren't enough icons on the panel

So that opened menu *could* be both centered and above menu button (fully?
partially?) then it should be centered?

That seems a bit inconsistent from my point of view. Supposedly I have 5 icons
pinned + menu button, and the menu is only wide enough to facilitate 6 icons.
Any additional application opened would move the menu button to the left of the
panel, which means the menu would no longer be above it. So the menu gets
"kicked out" and now centers above the button, completly throwing off the
muscle memory, since it opens in completly different place than usual.

**A** solution to that is to have the menu be much wider than anticipated
number of icons, but in my case that would mean the menu would have to take
almost half of the screen width (and I have an ultra-wide monitor, on 16:9
laptop it's almost 3/4 of the screen width). Not very good solution, but it is
A solution (of course if it works, which in this case doesn't, at least on both
my systems).

So if I understand correctly - in current implementation there's no way to
FORCE Kickoff to ALWAYS open centered on screen, no matter if it would be above
button or not? I got into discussion on Fosstodon with Niccolò Venerandi, who
claimed there is an easy-ish way to force that in QML, but sadly the
conversation didn't go anywhere from that.
