Qt 6.5.3 : Can't change QWidget position

I have problem with my QWidget window which I can't update position. I don't use the Ui tool.

I've tried:

    QRect           screenGeometry;
    int             x;
    int             y;

    screenGeometry = QApplication::primaryScreen()->geometry();
    x = (screenGeometry.width() - aw_.width()) / 2;
    y = (screenGeometry.height() - aw_.height()) / 2;
    aw_.move(x, y);
    aw_.show();

but the window doesn't move.

I also tried :

    QRect           screenGeometry;
    int             x;
    int             y;

    screenGeometry = QApplication::primaryScreen()->geometry();
    x = screenGeometry.center().x();
    y = screenGeometry.center().y();
    aw_.setUpdatesEnabled(true);
    aw_.setGeometry(x, y, 400, 300);
    QApplication::processEvents();
    aw_.show();

There the size of the window changed but remains stuck a random point on the screen.

I also tried to create a new project with a Ui and I saw in the Design panel that the values of X and Y of the geometry property can't be changed (they're disabled) but not width and height.

Does anyone has an idea?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Problem solved: I'm using Debian running with Wayland which doesn't allow windows to move by themselves.

    Thanks.
