Bug ID: 481155
Summary: Feature Request: add true centered window placement
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: master
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: rules
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: evanmoh...@gmail.com
CC: isma...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have an empty workspace
2. Open a dolphin window
3. Open several more dolphin windows
OBSERVED RESULT
Even with window placement set to centered, additional windows aren't actually
centered. That's because Plasma has a feature to offset windows so that the
titlebar are always visible. See: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58063.
In some cases this cascading can make new windows appear far away from the
center of the screen.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect for the windows to be completely overlapping. Note that I'm not
suggesting to replace the current mode, rather I think there should be an
additional toggle (enabled by default) called something like "Avoid obscuring
title bar".
