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.
