Switching over to wayland a few days ago and using it fresh updated to 6.3.2, the most annoying thing I’ve had to deal with is new spawn windows are showing up randomly across my displays, often hiding behind my main panels on top/bottom, and otherwise being crappy about its choice of places at the furthest point from where I am looking at the windows I’m working in.
I’m odd that I use usually 2 or 3x 50" TV’s on my desk and sit a foot or two away, and when these menu’s show up anywhere but near the parent window, I have to start playing “where’s waldo” scanning physically across displays (I’m old, eyesight is going) for where the window showed up for every “accept/cancel” modal, or whatever I’m doing. There’s simply no predictability where these windows spawn now vs. under xorg, which after a few days is infuriating.
Is this a plasma problem or wayland itself?
I’m new to wayland still, I’ve not seen it actually usable until quite recently, but 2 weeks ago trying it still resulted in 6 crashes in two days before I went back to xorg just so I could works, still I noticed this random pop-up window issue then too. I switched to wayland to play monster hunter wild as it’s simply smoother framerates over xorg, but using as a desktop with the random window placement is annoying me fiercely, and doesn’t do so in xorg with a certain amount of proximity boundary for how far away the window may spawn.
