Sub-windows are centered to the parent window, not the screen.

The issue

If a window is not maximised, and opens a sub-window, it is centered to the window itself, not the screen.

For example, if you have four windows open, with an internet browser in one of the corners, and try to upload a file to a website, the file explorer is centered to the internet browser window, and gets cut off by the screen's edges. Having to set the window to floating and drag it into the screen's boundaries is annoying.

This issue is not exclusive to the file explorer, it happens with any sub-window.

Not sure what logs to check for this.

Didn't work for me, but this does:

windowrule=center ,title:^(Open File)(.*)$
windowrule=center ,title:^(Select a File)(.*)$
windowrule=center ,title:^(Choose wallpaper)(.*)$
windowrule=center ,title:^(Open Folder)(.*)$
windowrule=center ,title:^(Save As)(.*)$
windowrule=center ,title:^(Library)(.*)$
windowrule=center ,title:^(File Upload)(.*)$```
