--- Comment #100 from Raman Gupta <rocketra...@gmail.com> --- I've been beta testing early release versions of JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA IDE on native Wayland. My experience with trying to use Window Rules for my IDEA IDE windows completely failed. Many of the popup windows were responding to the same rules. In discussing this with the developers, they say that IDEA's uses regular windows for many of its popups, because "IDEA's UI is very complex and it was not possible to accomplish everything IDEA popups need with what Wayland's popups offer." Reference: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-3206/Native-Wayland-support#focus=Comments-27-10645536.0-0 Furthermore, the positioning of these windows is often simply wrong, showing up on the top left corner many times, or other weird behavior. Furthermore, many of IDEA's popups are very different sizes and aspect ratios, depending on the specific content being shown. In thinking about this "Save and Remember Window Positions" issue, I'm not sure how the window manager is supposed to deal with and understand all this complexity. Only the application has the knowledge necessary to do this. Furthermore, pretty much every application already has the logic necessary to do it because it had to on X11. Has anyone considered rethinking the overall approach Wayland takes to window positioning? Or proposed a Wayland protocol or something that would allow applications to position their own windows? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
