Here is the beginning of the bug:

SUMMARY

When using wayland, Popup dialogs show up in the middle, or middle/bottom of the desktop.
This is on RHEL 8, 9 (and it's clones Alma and Rocky) as well as CentOS Stream 8 and 9. It's been happening since we first started using wayland, and has never changed.
We thought it was due to an older wayland / plasma / kf5. But with the latest CentOS Stream 9, we have the same versions as Fedora for all of those things.
We have also applied the patch that is coming out with kf5 103. It didn't help.
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/-/commit/eda6caabcffff484544af8949d0ca0a3ea3ce333
It does the same on virtual machines as well as real hardware.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download CentOS Stream 9 live image
2. Run it.
3. Click on Menu, notifications, or open krunner.

OBSERVED RESULT
The pop-up dialogs will show up in the exact center, or bottom center of the desktop

EXPECTED RESULT
Menu should show up in bottom left. Notifications should show up at bottom right. krunner should show up on top center.

epel9:
We currently plan on fixing epel9 when we roll epel9-next into epel9 next month. If anyone needs it sooner than that, please contact Troy, or reply to this issue.

Do we still have this issue?

Metadata Update from @ngompa:
- Issue assigned to tdawson

Nope. The fixes were pushed to epel9 when RHEL 9.2 was released. I haven't seen this problem since then.

Metadata Update from @tdawson:
- Issue close_status updated to: Fixed
- Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)

It looks like we forgot to switch Wayland defaults back on now that we fixed these issues. I've created #450 to track that.
