Emphasis on "should". While I can make Firefox open always centered with a certain width and vertically maximized most of the times (about 10% of the times the latter doesn't work), so do its dialogs, i.e. primary password prompt, file save, dev tools, etc. There's no sane way to exclude those windows—at least I found none except preceding the rule with "Do Not Affect" rules matching the title. Aside from that, initial window placement and sizing are a mess. Having observed it for a while now, I'd guess that there are a handful of different bugs causing it, but I can't isolate a single one. One is probably erroneous calculations for my particular display layout (oO - 1080p 100%, primary 4K 125%). Another one might be taking other windows into account even if they are on a different screen or desktop. Regarding the 10% failure rate to apply the window rule mentioned above, I'd guess it's a race condition. Others seem to be third party issues—e.g. Zoom's menu popups are displaced. And if I understand the Wayland design correctly (I only scratched the surface), it seems to be an inherent issue with it. Tiling window managers suddenly seem very attractive. I'm currently exploring alternatives for all the little things that come with a complete desktop environment. Maybe I'll follow the hype. �[U+1F610]� By the way, as a fun experiment, start KRuler and move/resize it over two screens with different scale factors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335761 Title: Placement policy 'Remember' by default for all windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kubuntu-default-settings/+bug/335761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
