Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 23.08.3

Expected behaviour (kate 22.08.3)
SUMMARY
Around the release of Kate 22.12.0, opening KWrite windows with KDE's minimal
overlapping option regressed since 22.08.3. The bug is still present at time of
writing (23.08.2). However, the main Kate application open its windows as
expected, so it seems specific to KWrite.
KDE -> System Settings -> Window Behaviour:
- Window placement: "Minimal Overlapping"
- Uncheck: "Allow apps to remember the positions of their own windows, if they
support it."
Workaround: Downgrade kate to 22.08.3, since KWrite is part of Kate.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start with an empty desktop.
2. Set the KDE setting above (minimal overlapping, don't remember positions)
3. Open multiple KWrite instances.
OBSERVED RESULT
Newly opened KWrite windows overlaps in a way that is inconsistent with other
applications or 22.08.3.
EXPECTED RESULT
New KWrite instances open without overlapping other windows, similar to
22.08.3 and versions prior.
