That seems like a bug in KWin - it should not create a new window in the
top left corner unless there's a really good reason.

AFAIK the best (most likely to move forward) work about giving apps more
control over new window positioning is `ext-zones`
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-
protocols/-/merge_requests/264) that is being discussed and has a KWin
prototype implementation. This isn't moving in any sort of speed
actually relevant to an actual client implementation, but maybe if IDEA
devs can hop in on the discussion and offer an perspective and an actual
client implementation (based on the KWin prototype) - maybe it can move
things forward.
