I did a little research on this because GnuCash 4.8 in Lubuntu 22.04 with
Lxqt desktop in VirtualBox doesn't have that window placement problem. It
seems that one of the barriers to greater overall acceptance of Wayland is
the fact that some older applications have code that is incompatible with
Good morning John,
I get what you are saying, and I agree that tracking down the exact problem
would be a huge undertaking. However, in this case, I can't just point the
finger at GnuCash - there are other apps that were doing the same thing
(one example being LibreOffice Calc). However, there wer
Setting aside the tone of Adrien's comments, I think that filing a bug report
against the Wayland project would be seriously misplaced. They're just
publishing a spec and a model implementaiton. The actual implementation for
Gnome is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter. KDE has a different co
RATS. I hate it when I proof a post but don't stop to think before
hitting 'send.'
My apologies to the GnuCash team, the moderator, and any readers of this
thread.
While I stand behind my comments, this is not the forum for such a
discussion. My sentiments aren't about 'using GnuCash' and do
For the simple reason they'll be annoyed and try to ignore the bug
report, I'd file it. You never know who else has the same problem with
various apps. Heck, I'd bet the bug is already filed, maybe even closed
as 'won't fix'. That's even better. File another and make them spend
their time marki
Well, it is definitely a Wayland vs X11 issue. When I switched from Wayland
to X11, the problem just magically went away.
If I thought I stood a chance of being listened to there, I would file a
bug report against Wayland - but I suspect it wouldn't get much
traction.
Anyway, thanks, all, for
Yes, I was thinking about that as well. Ubuntu 20.04 shipped with X11 as
default, and 22.04 ships with Wayland as default. Maybe I will try changing
that and see what happens. I always felt more comfortable with X11, but
figured I would at least try Wayland, since they were making it the default

Hi
I think your issue is the windowing system on Debian which can be found
under setting/about, it probably states Wayland and not X11.
I have just checked my system and I am running X11 not Wayland which is
default on Debian distro's

Another option is to create a new user and see if the behavior affects the new

If Gnome is still using Tweaks, it might be buried in there, although I did
not see a specific setting in Ubuntu 20.04

Well, I haven't gotten very far in digging, but the fact that other people
are not having the problem makes it that much more likely that it is my
machine. If it wasn't such a pain to set everything back up afterwards, I
would just wipe the system and install fresh.
Meanwhile, I will keep looking
Hi David,
No issues for me.
I am running GS 4.11 on Ubuntu 22.04 and the windows stay in the same
place where I left them when I last closed GS

Tracy,
I would not like a desktop that did not remember where a window was located
on the desktop/display combination when last used. Any other users seeing
similar issues?

Hi David,
Everything I can find says that Gnome (the desktop environment set up by
default in Ubuntu 22.04 - which was also the desktop environment used in
20.04, which worked as expected) does not save window placement
information. Instead, it is the responsibility of the application. Gnome

Wouldn't the position on the desktop be a desktop setting? How do other
program windows position themselves when opened? In my test system of

Gyle,
Thanks for the response. The desktop icons and such work a little
differently under Ubuntu than under Windows. But even so, if I go
directly to the exectuable and launch the application from there, I get
the same result.
And thank you for correcting my mistake there - it is indeed

I'm on 4.11 on Windows 11 so I may have different options. Mine is under
Edit/Preferences/Windows/Window Geometry and has a check box for "save window
size and position". It works fine. However, if the icon to start Gnucash has
