QDialog opens at the center of QGoodWindow's initial position, ignoring its current one

[kresimirko]

Hello. I'm back again with another issue and this time I really am not sure if this is an issue on my behalf or not.

When using a regular QMainWindow, connecting a QAction to a QDialog's open() slot works fine. The dialog's parent is the QMainWindow and it opens in the center, even after moving.

// Example code
AboutWindow *aboutWindow = new AboutWindow(this); // inherits QDialog
connect(helpAction, &QAction::triggered, aboutWindow, &AboutWindow::show);

Initial position

Position after being moved by cursor

However, if I connect that same QAction to the same show() slot, but this time have a QGoodWindow as its parent, this happens:

Initial position

Position after being moved by cursor

If I use move() on the dialog's parent window before it being shown, that is used as the initial position instead.

I'm aware of the fact that I can get the position of the window on the screen, calculate things from there and position the dialog that way, but I still feel like this is notable.

@kresimirko: I don't think that this is exactly a bug, because the library works, but not mimic the QMainWindow behavior.

As a workaround, you could, instead of create a global QDialog and show and close it as user request, create a temporary QDialog every time the dialog is requested, this also ensure that your dialog will have a Windows show animation on any show event, and not remember it's old position on show event.

Anyway, I will accept your issue as a enhancement to be released in the next version, it will mimic the QMainWindow behavior.

Thanks for reporting!

Alright, thanks! I've already applied a workaround so I'll just stick to that.

This enhancement was addressed on version 2.2.
