Mainwindow offcenter in linux

jocala

I have a situation where my main window opens in the upper left of the monitor, only under linux. It looks quite strange, especially when a informational popup appears at program start, that is properly centered where mainwindow is on Mac and Windows! Screenshot below:

How can I fix this Linux issue?

I am not sure how you center your window so I have no suggestions.

I don't center the window but store the last size and location in a settings file. I use the following in the constructor:

@
Position = d_Settings->value("Mainwindow_Position", QPoint(30,30)).toPoint();
Size = d_Settings->value("Mainwindow_Size", QSize(800, 509)).toSize();

DesktopRect = QApplication::desktop()->availableGeometry();

WidgetRect.moveTopLeft(Position);
WidgetRect.setSize(Size);

WidgetRect = WidgetRect & DesktopRect;

if(WidgetRect.isValid())
{
this->resize(WidgetRect.size());
this->move(WidgetRect.topLeft());
}
else
{
this->resize(QSize(800, 509));
this->move(QPoint(30,30));
}
@

The intersected() function '&' makes sure the window is not off the desktop (somewhere you can't get to it).

Interesting, thank you!
