SUMMARY Prior to updating to kwin 5.19.5 and konsole 20.08.1, an opened konsole windows would open on the monitor that is in focus and tile appropriately. Now it ignores tiling and always opens in the top left of the main monitor. Window tiling is set to minimal overlap. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. have the above mentioned versions of software 2. open konsole through start menu, krunner or keyboard shortcut 3. OBSERVED RESULT all konsole windows open in top left corner of main monitor EXPECTED RESULT windows should tile side by side on whatever monitor is in focus SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Manjaro KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.15.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have a konsole window rule to set size (but not position). Editing this didn't effect anything. All other window behave correctly so maybe this report belongs in the konsole section?

Edit: after multiple restarts it seems that the konsole window is not limited to the upper left but will sometimes appear in the middle or other locations still with windows sitting on top of each other instead of obeying window rules
Is this issue gone after removing .config/konsolerc file? (make a backup copy of your konsolerc file before actually removing it)
(In reply to Vlad Zahorodnii from comment #2) > Is this issue gone after removing .config/konsolerc file? (make a backup > copy of your konsolerc file before actually removing it) renaming/removing this file caused the position to reset but did not fix the tiling issue. Windows still stack instead of obeying minimal overlap. I can also set the position that the window will open with: DP-0 DVI-D-0 XPosition=2560 DP-0 DVI-D-0 YPosition=29 (I have 2 monitors DP and DVI) here is the full config: [Desktop Entry] DefaultProfile=Profile 1.profile [DownloadDialog Settings] Height 1080=494 Width 1920=700 [Favorite Profiles] Favorites=small font.profile,Shell.profile [MainWindow] DP-0 DVI-D-0 Height 1080=484 DP-0 DVI-D-0 Height 1440=484 DP-0 DVI-D-0 Width 1920=648 DP-0 DVI-D-0 Width 2560=648 DP-0 DVI-D-0 XPosition=2560 DP-0 DVI-D-0 YPosition=29 Height 1080=484 Height 1440=484 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAAogAAAHGAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAAA ToolBarsMovable=Disabled Width 1920=648 Width 2560=648 [TabBar] ExpandTabWidth=true TabBarPosition=Top [ThumbnailsSettings] ThumbnailCtrl=true I've also tried clearing out all my kwin window rules with no success
I'm closing this because reinstalling the entire OS for unrelated reasons happened to fixed the issue, so apparently it was just a quirk on my old system.
