"Minimal overlapping" was the systemwide default until Plasma 5.24, at which point it changed to Centered. IIRC there's some logic to use the system's default when switching from one theme to another under certain circumstances. Yes, the placement policy option is affected by the current look-and-feel theme. Which theme did you switch to that reset the window placement mode? All of them? Just a specific one? Looks like it affects Breeze global themes. No window placement mode is specified in their `default` files, so this seems like a bug in the KCM. *** Bug 449191 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
SUMMARY *** System Settings -> Window Management -> Window Behavior -> Advanced -> Window placement gets reset to "Minimal Overlapping" when theme is changed. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Change setting to be something other than "minimal overlapping" 2. Change theme 3. Logout and back in OBSERVED RESULT Windows are placed in random places instead of my setting ("Center") EXPECTED RESULT Windows should be placed where my setting initially instructed, "Center" (for me).
