The same problem here - I tried it on Firefox and TeamViewer. However, TeamViewer is not a popup but the special options doesn't work at all. Only Force. All other options are just ignored but Force. But for me the window class names are different, still yhe options doesn't work. Something more - In Plasma 5 if you close an app at a certain position it's opened in the same posion. Now in Plasma 6 the position get forgotten once the app is closed. For exemple I can give TeamViewer - it always opens in the lower left corner no matter where you left it before you close it. In the mean time this is woring fine with Tixati and Konsole for example. This is not right and should be fixed.
