Hi all,
I've just switched from using GNOME on X11 to using GNOME on Wayland. Except that I had to work around https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736660 in order to get my environment setup properly, it basically works well. Well, except for the following problem:
Some dialogs spawned by applications appear at the top-left corner of my screen for a fraction of a second, then disappear and reappear at (almost) the center of the screen. That's pretty distracting. Actually, I use two side-by-side monitors using XRandR.
% xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
XWAYLAND0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 530mm x 300mm
1920x1080 59.96*+
XWAYLAND1 connected 1920x1080+1920+0 530mm x 300mm
1920x1080 59.96*+
This does not happen with all dialogs, though. I do have this issue with all dialogs from IntelliJ IDEA, SquirrelSQL, JD-GUI (Java Decompiler), SoapUI, and GIMP. But with Web (epiphany), LibreOffice, Emacs built with GTK3, Qt Designer, Zeal, X2Go Client, VirtualBox Manager, Totem, or chromium, the dialogs directly appear centered on the parent window as one would expect.
Does anyone else have that problem and possibly a cure?
Thanks!

Bump. Is really nobody having the same issue?

I have the same issue but I have no idea why.
I see it often on Firefox and Steam.

That's the problem.
Given your answer I assume you don't use GNOME on Wayland. Do you use some other DE/WM on Wayland and in that case tell us if the problem is there, too? That would at least allow us to point our fingers are Wayland and only Wayland, not some GNOME-specific problem with Wayland.
Thanks,

I use KDE/Kwin on Xorg without any problems.
Could you try KDE/Kwin on Wayland to see if the problem appears there, too?

All of the programs you mention aren't able to use Wayland natively and rather run over XWayland, so this might not even be Wayland nor GNOME but XWayland/Xorg for which there's a new release in the pipeline which might help. I might go and check it out on KDE if I don't forget to get out my notebook.

Ok, thanks. I would have thought that at least GIMP which uses GTK would be able to run on Wayland natively.
But then I'll wait for the new XWayland release.

GIMP currently uses GTK2 not 3 and GTK3 is the one with Wayland support. The new X has been released now, has the situation not changed?

Ah, thanks for the GTK2/3 hint.
Now I'm running extra/xorg-server 1.19.1-1, extra/wayland 1.12.0-1, extra/wayland-protocols 1.7-1, and extra/xorg-server-xwayland 1.19.1-1 and the situation is still the same.
