Is there any way to force them to show at bottom like how they used to on X11 ?

What looks to be happening is that in X11, these two Gtk apps are using KDE’s file picker instead of their native Gnome/Gtk ones. Which is what you want, and is made possible via the XDG Portals.

In Wayland, they are using the stock Gnome/Gtk file picker, for some reason. Are these Flatpaks or Snaps?

I haven’t yet found why this would be happening in Wayland, as these Portals are sort of made at least partially with Wayland usage in mind :confused:

Both use GTK file picker, the KDE one is totally different.

They are native apps installed via pacman.

It just looks like they’re using CSD (client side decoration) on Wayland for whatever reason. That’s something to ask GTK developers though, not us :slight_smile:
