Also opening a new window if FF is already running has the same result.
Comment 2 David Edmundson 2020-06-08 21:58:40 UTC
Can you create a video? 

Also confirm if it happens without compositing (alt + shift + f12)

Video recording of the bug

The bug doesn't occur without compositing. I also use "GTK_USE_PORTAL=1", "MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1" and "MOZ_USE_XINPUT2=1"

Those environment variables have no effect on this issue.
FF Nightly and Thunderbird also cause this issue.
All three only do this if CSDs are enabled.
I previously said: "...desktop content briefly shifts...", but if there are already windows of other apps on the desktop they also move.
Or maybe it's not app widows that move but rather the area that shows windows shifts up and to the left because FF tries to open outside of it?

Bizarre. Cannot reproduce. This is with Wayland? Or X11?

It was originally on Wayland but I can't reproduce anymore.
