SUMMARY When starting dolphin under wayland, the window pops up in the right lower center of the screen. I cannot maximize it (clicking doesn't do anything). When closing and starting again, dolphin appears in the left top middle of the screen, and then I can maximize it. Next time I close and open dolphin, the cycle repeats. Any way how to solve or debug it? *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. start kwin wayland 2. open dolphin (opens in a weird place, but only if I closed it maximized) 3. click on the maximize/restore button 4. close it 5. reopen it (it opens in another place and now I can maximize it) No other program shows this behaviour, and it only shows under wayland. Operating System: KDE neon 5.23 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.13.0-27-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 6 × AMD Ryzen 5 4500U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 15.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD RENOIR
So I just realized there are two parts to it. 1) Even discover and kate will open at a weird place (so last opened place and status is not remembered) 2) only dolphin will refuse to get maximized, the other two programs will get maximized without any problem. I have tried to get a screen capture for documentation, but couldn't find a program that works under wayland (yet).
Fixed with version 5.24.0 (at least for me ;-)
