Per Blender's own documentation,* restoring saved window positions does not work under Wayland, on account of Wayland's developers deliberately choosing not to provide a mechanism for this. * https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/getting_started/installing/linux_windowing_environment.html https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/98928 https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/113558 (I will concede that it's possible their documentation is wrong and you're right, but as it's a known fact that Wayland has historically declined to provide a mechanism for this and its developers have only recently backed down on that, it would not be my first guess.) > Maybe the KiCad folks could learn from that? If Blender's own documentation is anything to go by, probably not!
