I can tell because I use this for my virtual machine and the position where my mouse is captured makes no sense what-so-ever. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select a window 2. Alt+F3 3. More Actions>Configure Special Window Settings 4. Add Property(bottm left + button) 5. Position 6. Use the Force option and use a negative value for x or y. 7. Apply and the window will disapear from view. OBSERVED RESULT Window disapears and moves in completely unexpected way. EXPECTED RESULT For it to move a negative amount of pixels off my screen.

I like to have a 16:9 section of my Ultrawide sectioned off for my virtual machine. Using VMM there are headers and a toolbar at the top of the window. So in order to have a full screen like experiance I need to move it partially off screen(so the top bars are not shown anymore) and prefer to do that once I open my VM. Currently now I have to manually drag it every time I open it. I mainly do this for my Astrology work/readings as none of my software runs on Linux. https://imgur.com/a/sC0CuTS 2209929 5 thedjknownasez 2023-02-20 12:18:04 +0000 (In reply to Bug Janitor Service from comment #3) > A possibly relevant merge request was started @ > https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/3633 I don't believe so. This is happening under x11(I haven't tried under Wayland). This is supposed to be a wayland fix. 2512885 6 bug-janitor 2026-04-29 21:00:44 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/9156 2513259 7 xaver.hugl 2026-05-01 21:50:05 +0000 Git commit 2f8a86034baeb9c238fbf20f772b23cac659e073 by Xaver Hugl.
