Bug ID: 57574 Summary: Wine 9.20: Application window positioning regression on laptop with multi monitor display setup Product: Wine Version: 9.20 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: justin.guidroz@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Distro: Manjaro linux Seen in Wine version: 9.20 and greater (could be earlier, but Manjaro went from 9.16 to 9.20)
Setup: Laptop with two external displays.
I've been running one Windows application, Sierra Chart, under Wine on Linux for a couple of years now. No issues with window positioning between wine upgrades until Manjaro updated Wine to 9.20 (same behavior seen in 9.22 as well).
After updating Wine, the dialog about updating the Wine config that would normally start centered on my laptop screen, now starts on an external display off center.
The initial application login screen that would normally start centered on my laptop screen now starts on an external display off center.
The main application window that would launch maximized on the laptop screen, now starts on the external display. Dragging the application to the laptop screen and clicking any menu item, the menu drop down appears on the external display instead of in the application on the laptop screen.
The second instance of this application that would start maximized on the external display now starts half off the external display. Dragging this back to the external display, all dialog popups appear off the external monitor unable to be seen or even usable.
Reading through the release notes for releases after 9.16, it seems this may be related to the "Better window positioning in the wayland driver" introduced in 9.19, but not entirely sure at this moment.
