Thought my system settings is set to "centered" for window placement, windows are still appearing in corners of the screen. I am using neon git unstable with updates from today.
Two questions/comments: 1) Is it still happening with updates from Nov 14/15? I'm on live-git plasma/wayland (only, no X but xwayland, with weston as my falllback if plasma/kwin fails) using gentoo/kde's live-git packages here, updated late yesterday (14th) and again today (to see if an unrelated bug is fixed yet, it isn't and I came across this going thru new bugs looking to see if it's filed yet), and as of yesterday's update anyway, the new default-to-centered-placement worked. I prefer minimal overlapping however and immediately switched back to that. 2) Of course some apps will remember positioning (unless you have window rules set to prevent that) and will go to wherever they were last, which given the previous default to minimal-overlap, would have likely been in a corner. So I'm wondering if you just caught the updates at the wrong point (#1) and it's now fixed, or if you possibly only tried with apps that remember their position and went back to it, thus not getting the centering. Because the new centered-by-default definitely took here, likely with an update a few hours to a day after yours, and I had to reset it to my preferred mimimal-overlap behavior. If it's still not centering after a new update (and you didn't deliberately reset to minimal-overlap as I did), then yes, you definitely are seeing a continuing bug (that I'm not), as it definitely worked here. (Not sure whether as another user it'd be polite/reasonable to set bug status to NEEDSINFO or not, so I'll defer on that, but that's what I'd consider it now, because with luck you just updated at the wrong time and it's already fixed if you update again.)
Can you verify that "Centered" is actually set in System Settings > Window Management > Window Behavior > Advanced?
