SUMMARY
I have configured to have a floating middle panel with the Application Launcher. On my ultrawide display the Application Launcher is not centered.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ultrawide display, floating middle panel with Application Launcher
2. Open the Application Launcher

OBSERVED RESULT
Application Launcher is shown, centered on the widget/button that is pressed to open the Application Launcher.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be centered on the width of the display

Just tested on my laptop (1080p), it's off center on that as well with the same configuration

The application launcher opens above its plasmoid in the panel. This is why is appears off centered on your screen. Maybe you could open a feature request to add an option "center the launcher".

The problem with that is, that the old one (from plasma 5) did that. It would only default to being centered over the widget if the launcher's width was shorter than launcher widget + icons-only task manager combined.

I guess it's centered on its panel, but in this case it could easily be centered on the screen.
