            Bug ID: 458065
           Summary: Windows opening lower at each start
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

SUMMARY
There are a bunch of applications that start with their window always lower on
the screen at each start.
When the application is fully closed (not still open in the background) and
reopen, it is a bit lower than when closed.
With successive openings and closings, the effect forces to regularly raise up
windows.



CASES WHERE IT APPLIES
It doesn't affect applications that keeps opening only on the middle of the
screen, only windows which return to their previous place at start.
It only affect windows that are floating, not full-screen windows.
It can affect both Flatpak and Snap format.
They are some applications with those conditions that are not effected by this.

Some Examples (various cases) :
- Discord (Flatpak) : Affected (if fully closed only)
- Spotify (Flatpak) : Affected
- Visual Studio Code (Snap) : Affected
+ Thunderbird (Snap) : not effected because always open in center
+ Blender (Flatpak) : not affected because always open in full-screen
+ Brave (Snap) : not affected and still keep old position (so satisfying bug
conditions without having it)
+ Gimp (Flatpak) : not affected and still keep old position (...)
+ Clementine Music Player (Flatpak) : not affected and still keep old position
(even if fully closed)



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an application affected by the bug, like Spotify.
2. Set the application in floating windows at a precise height that is easy to
locate (for example by aligning with another window or an element of the
wallpaper).
3. Close the application. If the application can be remain open in the
background, close it also in background.
4. Re-open the application.
5. See the difference of height from previous location.


OBSERVED RESULT
The application is lower than before (if it is an application affected by the
bug).
The height is not related to the height of the task-bar - because my task-bar
is on the top I thought that was what was causing the bug. - but the height
difference seems to be the same than the application tittle-bar.


EXPECTED RESULT
When the application keeps previous position, it should keep exactly previous
position, not moving down from it.
