Partly. The date problem is related to that. But the calculator problem isn't. The calculator problem is that the calculator itself will not pop-up at the right place, Instead, each time I need to click it twice to make it pop-up at the right place. The first time I click it it will just pop-up at the left corner of the screen.

Is this still valid with 5.2 or newer?
Comment 4 Jack 2025-07-31 16:49:55 UTC 
Does KMyMoney have any control over where the calculator pops up?  My reading of the code shows it doesn't even try, so the location would be system dependent.
If I click the calculator button more than once, I get a new calculator (always center of the screen for me, using Wayland) for each click.
What  do you mean by "the right place?"
Comment 5 Thomas Baumgart 2025-08-01 06:09:48 UTC 
KMyMoney positions the popup relative to the basewidget (date or amount widget) using its PopupPositioner object (https://invent.kde.org/office/kmymoney/-/blob/master/kmymoney/widgets/popuppositioner.cpp). Unfortunately, this does not seem to work either with Qt6 or Wayland (since the call to mapToGlobal in line 27 always returns the relative position to the application window). Others (see https://www.qtcentre.org/threads/50737-Can-t-seem-to-get-global-screen-position) seem to have the same problem to figure out the global position of a widget.
