Any cuts are placed only on places where the tabs are. In your case, you have a tab in the middle of the board. And the V-cut is there to cut the tab-board interface. You should position your tabs correctly (e.g., via annotation).
Exactly, i could specify it manually. (see top: Is there an option to place the vcuts at the top of a pcb, without specifying it manually?) But could there be an option to automatically detect, that it's a vcut and always use the topest/lowest edge here? (it will be always true for vcuts, hence my proposal)
KiKit is tab-oriented. Any cuts produced are generated from tabs. What you probably want is a new algorithm for tab placement: something like "edge tab" that will find the "outer-most" edge and placed tab there (which is a good idea and we should have it). It just shouldn't be coupled with V-cuts.
@yaqwsx good proposal to keep it more versatile! +1 from my side. I like your proposal even more.
When revisiting this, I just realized that this is exactly what the full tab does. It finds the outer most edges and spans a tab from them. So edges tabs are redundant.

Description
The Vcuts are placed in the middle. Is there an option to place the vcuts at the top of a pcb, without specifying it manually?
Steps to Reproduce
Run the panalizing command with the pcb you already have from me.
Observe the vcuts, that are placed in the middle not, in the upper most position. Is there an option to specify this?
