Bug

Description

A lot of applications with floating dialogue boxes and menus are being spawned and placed in the center of the desktop. I've noticed this with Godot, Blender, Brave, Qbittorrent (qt5 in general) and almost every XWayland window. Sometimes the menu's are usable in the center of the screen (video 1), and other times it is offset where you can move your mouse around and highlight parts of the menu when your mouse is not over the menu (video 2)

Rules I've tried:

## Godot
windowrulev2 = noblur, class:^(.*Godot.*)$, title:^(.*Godot.*)$,
windowrulev2 = noborder, class:^(Godot.*)$, title:^(Godot.*)$,
windowrulev2 = noshadow, class:^(Godot.*)$, title:^(Godot.*)$,
windowrulev2 = opacity 1.0, class:^(Godot.*)$, title:^(Godot.*)$,
windowrulev2 = opaque, class:^(Godot.*)$, title:^(Godot.*)$,
windowrulev2 = float, class:^(Godot.*)$,
windowrulev2 = noanim, class:^(Godot.*)$,
windowrulev2 = float,floating:0,class:^(Godot*)
windowrulev2 = forceinput,class:^(Godot*)
windowrulev2 = windowdance,class:^(Godot*) # allows Godot to move child windows
windowrulev2 = nofocus,class:^(Godot*) # allows Godot to move child windows
# windowrulev2 = forcergbx, class:^(Godot.*)$, title:^(Godot.*)$,
# windowrulev2 = noinitialfocus, class:^(Godot.*)$, title:^(Godot.*)$,

Another issue with Godot specifically is that the class and title are always dynamic according to the project title or pop dialogue. The only parameter that is consistent is "InitialTitle" or "InitialClass"

How to reproduce

Open godot and scroll through the menus. This behavior is noticeable in brave-bin from the AUR, Qbittorrent and some specific parts of Blender.

likely dupe of https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/3150, update

[sweetbbak]

I dont see how they are related, windows are being centered when they shouldn't be and then behaving weirdly. It's also not an issue with file pickers but with drop down menu's that are inside another client.

That issue has also been closed as fixed.

[MightyPlaza]

you're not on latest build from git, you're on latest release (0.29.1) yes, window placement is an issue for most xwayland programs but wayland native programs shouldn't cause issues (after updating)

Switched to hyprland-git

hyprctl version: Hyprland, built from branch main at commit b0a82c04dfc3f08183d68318a1d0eb4001c99559 dirty (bezier: Remove Todo about N-Point bezier curves. (3352)). Tag: v0.29.1-88-gb0a82c04

Same issue persisting. Or is there an even newer version than that?

[MightyPlaza]

make sure the applications are not running under xwayland (hyprctl clients)

[sweetbbak]

In Blender, Hyprland will allow the drop down menu to be put into the correct position, but when moving the mouse into the zone of the drop down menu the menu just disappears as if it isn't there. Hypr-prop says that Blender isn't using Xwayland. Godot is Xwayland and doesn't work like you said.

haunted. I've never seen that happen.

can we get your entire config?

[sweetbbak]

It only happens with specific applications. https://github.com/sweetbbak/dots/tree/main/.config/hypr

[vaxerski]

it's your windowrules that cause the issue.

Specifically, these:

windowrulev2 = center,xwayland:1
windowrulev2 = float,xwayland:1

Hyprland does what you told it to.

[sweetbbak]

That was me attempting to troubleshoot the issue. It does it without it as well.

[vaxerski]

well, no. You just have those rules duplicated and all over the place. Launch with the default config and come back if it does that too.

[sweetbbak]

Yea, it did. My bad. I still have the issue with Blender but at this point I'm guessing that it's probably Blenders fault.
