Normal working example

SUMMARY
The Object Details window normally opens centred on the screen but on multiple "random" occasions it opens fully in the Top/Left position.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Search for an object
2. Select [Details]
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The random nature of this makes it difficult to reproduce. It seems to occur more frequently if I use [Center in Map] where the object is below the horizon and you then select [Cancel] to not go to the object. After closing the window [x] select [Details]. If you do this a number of times it will occasionally exihibit the issue.



EXPECTED RESULT

The problem, other than the annoyance, is the menu bar for the window is not shown and is more difficult to close.

To see this it can require a number of repetitive actions where the details button is selected the pop up window closed multiple times. If it fails to happen try using the [Center in Map] button (in between).

Appears this might be related to the Windowing system in use, so not technically a KStars bug.
