Description yan102 2023-08-10 22:43:59 UTC 
When you create a vector layer and open the context menu of the layer by selecting the option to open the effects window, you cannot move it from the center of the screen, you cannot see the result in preview mode as you configure the effects Effects, if you try to move this window it will move the whole krita window and it won't allow to display the image.

I cannot reproduce this, which indicates to me that this is caused by the compositor/desktop enviroment. See if your desktop enviroment has any options to configure 'modal' dialogs, and whether it is helpfully trying to enforce this centering.

Hi,

Again, this is not a bug in Krita, but an option that needs to be configured in Gnome. This is how Gnome handles 'modal dialogs'. We cannot fix this in Krita, you will have to configure Gnome to allow moving modal dialogs.
