I just tested the Neon 5 RC ISO and the following happened: When I opened a regular KDE application (non-KDe applications like VLC, for example, were not affected, and neither was KSnapshot, but most other KDE applications, regardless of whether they were based on KF5 or kdelibs4), it opened in the lower-right corner of the screen with minimum size, regardless of their previous size and position. Than at a later point, all applications opened in the upper-left corner of the screen. Reproducible: Sometimes
the minimum size is a typical problem of kf5 based apps (yes it's in the apps).
squeezed into corners might be a problem on struts (ie. the placement area is empty) for window in `xwininfo -root -tree | sed '/^ *0x[^ ]* */!d; s/^ *\(0x[^ ]*\).*/\1/g'`; do xprop -id $window | grep _NET_WM_STRUT done (those are three lines, first ends after "; do" - in case bugzilla screws it ;-)

And what do I do with the results? Post them here?
Whenever you encounter the issue (struts are persistent properties set by eg. panels to restrict the area where the window manager should place/move/maximize windows) And please post the output, yes. If you copy the command into one line, there needs to be a ";" before the last "done"
Okay, here is the output: _NET_WM_STRUT(CARDINAL) = 0, 0, 0, 30 _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL(CARDINAL) = 0, 0, 0, 30, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1919 Another observation: When I open one window, it opens in the upper-left corner. When I open another window with the first still open, it opens in the lower-left corner, then upper-right, then lower-right, then upper-left again.
Strut is fine (you've a 30px panel covering the entire bottom of your 1920px wide screen ;-) Changing corners is expectable (avoding window occlusion) for the "smart" placement strategy (the default) - the position is usually not tracked/requested by applications. The size is then likely tracked wrongly - though it would be more reasonable if it only affected KF5 clients. Please check the rc for an affected client (eg. kwriterc, dolphinrc) for "Width <screen width>" and "Height <screen height> entries.

Dear Bug Submitter, This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

I cannot reproduce this bug anymore, sorry for not reacting earlier.
Thanks for the update; changing status.
