Description Dan Dascalescu 2021-02-13 07:12:52 UTC

Every time I launch the emoji picker, it shows up in the upper right corner of the screen. I have to force its KDE window settings to make it move to the center, but that's not a reliable solution for most situations. Ideally, it should remember its previous positinn and display itself at those coordinates.

Comment 1 Nate Graham 2021-02-14 14:54:35 UTC

Needs to manually call the relevant kconfig functions because it doesn't use KXMLGui which provides this functionality automatically.

Perhaps we need some kind of QML-based convenience component that will implement this functionaluty when added.

Comment 2 Dan Dascalescu 2021-02-21 08:59:24 UTC

Updating to confirm the issue is still there in Plasma 5.21, which made most windows preserve their size and position by default (vs. 5.18.5).

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2021-02-22 00:11:04 UTC

The change to do that actually happened in a Frameworks update (5.74 IIRC), and most apps got the updated behavior automatically because they use a KXMLGui-provided widget as their main window, and that widget got the new feature automatically.

But the Emoji picker window is not a QWidgets app, so it does not use KXMLGui, so it did not get the feature automatically, and it needs to be manually updated to implement it.

Ooooh I can do this now. Will do soon.
