> This is interesting. When running gnome-shell in Wayland the window placement seems to be correct. I've been testing it a bit.
I think that's what I was aiming for with: gsettings set org.gnome.mutter center-new-windows true It likely works better in Wayland because that treats each monitor separately. Whereas Xorg likes to render all monitors as one, so the middle might be the border between the monitors. > Unfortunately Wayland doesn't allow for remote desktop access so I can't help my customers when something goes wrong.

Though as you have found even that "support" has its limitations. I suggest any software that wants a window A to reliably appear over window B should make sure window A is a dialog parented by B, or that A is a modal dialog parented by B. So if you can get that small change made to the POS software then it should work correctly with most window managers including gnome-shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1888098 Title: Ubuntu 20.04 gnome-shell places windows on second screen when started from primary screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1888098/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
