Description Antonio Russo 2023-03-03 17:27:03 UTC

SUMMARY

The main window of konsole is placed in an unfortunate way when called from, e.g., a global keyboard shortcut to open a terminal that calls the executable `/usr/bin/konsole`.  The window is often paced in the same spot on every command invocation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Remove ~/.config/konsole*
2. Run /usr/bin/konsole
3. Disable both the main and session toolbar.
4. Disable the menu bar.
5. Close the konsole session.
6. Run /usr/bin/konsole
7. Run /usr/bin/konsole again

OBSERVED RESULT

The second new konsole window appears directly above the first.

EXPECTED RESULT

The second new konsole window should be placed per the kwin rules, either centered or "least overlap", etc.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  Debian unstable
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:  4:5.27.2-1 (plasma-workspace)
KDE Frameworks Version:  5.103.0-1
Qt Version: 5.15.8+dfsg-3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I have not tried to dig into options or the code very much.  That said, having this work differently when the menu bar is enabled vs disabled seems like unwanted behavior.

As a workaround, you can set, in the [General] section of ~/.config/konsolerc ,

AllowKDEAppsToRememberWindowPositions=false
