I assume this happens under Wayland which does not support custom window positioning and getting mouse pointer position.

No, this happens under X11

What's you window manager? I briefly tested this in openbox without seeing any issue.

it doesnt work when i do this:

  • open one app
  • left click inside the app (active it as active window)
  • move the mouse somewhere else one the screen
  • press the defined copyq shortcut to show it below the mouse pointer
  • window is opened somewhere (not below the mouse pointer)
  • press the shortcut again - now it's below the mouse pointer

It could be related to some problems with window geometry and multiple screens - which is fixed but not yet released.

which commit fixes the bug? i can backport it and try it

puchu avatar May 16 '22 11:05 puchu

Commits 3bd6f29, 0774563 and b0dd430. Easier if you try building from latest master.

I've tested this in Xnest session and it looks like kwin itself restores the window position after it is shown again.

I have no idea how to move the window without adding ugly timers that would reset the position after an interval (this has been the previous implementation but it did not work well on various window managers).

I have the same issue. On Ubuntu: Version 6.1.0 (flatpak) doesn't position the window under the cursor, but version 3.10.0-1 (deb) that is in ubuntu repo works properly. On Pop!_OS: Version 6.0.1 (deb) also doesn't work properly.
