Description David 2020-11-19 09:52:42 UTC
SUMMARY
In recent versions of plasma, windows of a given application will open remembering their last position.

I find this behavior annoying for some applications, because I *always* want them at different places in different virtual desktops - for example, I usually have a virtual desktop in which I have a konsole running for typing commands on demand (which is on the center), and another one in which there is a konsole instance logging what some windowed app launched from it produces (which is in a corner, with the app window taking focus).

Would be nice if the positions would be remembered on a per-desktop basis instead.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch some app in virtual desktop 1.
2. Close said app.
3. Switch to virtual desktop 2, launch app again, move its window.
4. Switch back to virtual desktop 1 and launch the app.

OBSERVED RESULT
Opens at the position in which it was closed in desktop 2.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should open at the position in which it was closed in desktop 1.

Seems reasonable.
