Description hello 2020-05-09 12:51:08 UTC 
Just a mild annoyance.
Would it be possible to change 'Center snap zone' calculation? So it takes the height of the panel into account.
At the moment this and 'Window Placement' have different center points.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a Panel at top or bottom
2. Set 'Window Placement' to Centered and 'Center snap zone' > Panelheight/2
3. Launch a Window and grab the titlebar

OBSERVED RESULT
Window is jumping to the snap zone

Thanks.

Seconded, I would like an option to have the 'center' take the height of the panel or dock into consideration so that my window doesn't end up sitting on the dock, with a bunch of space on the other side.
