Bug ID: 453494
Summary: Polkit, Wayland, password dialog should open centered
above application, if possible, or at least centered
on screen like in X11
Product: policykit-kde-agent-1
Version: 5.24.4
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
I have a rather large screen (880mm x 490mm). When I use it under Wayland, the
password authentication dialog opens in a free space somewhere on my screen,
making it hard to recognize that it opened. When using X11, the dialog always
opens centered on the screen, regardless of the free space and displayed
windows on my desktop. I'd prefer that the password window would open centered
above the requesting application, or at least centered on the same screen, like
it does on X11.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. kate /etc/fstab
2. change anything in the file
3. save it
OBSERVED RESULT
Polkit password window opens somewhere on the desktop/screen, depending on the
layout of currently opened windows.
EXPECTED RESULT
Polkit password window opens centered above the Kate window, or alternatively
Polkit password window opens centered on screen, like it does on wayland.
