Initial window size override

[natebass]

I recently noticed an improvement in the initial window size on linux mint cinnamon. Does anyone know where this change was made or what this behavior is called? Is there a setting that overrides this default behavior?

The initial window size is perfect on Linux Mint Cinnamon 🥳. It follows gnome-terminal and nemo behavior.

• When nothing is on the screen, it places the window "center-left".

• If there is already a center-left window open, ghostty opens a window center-right. This allows you to open a terminal and file explorer side-by-side.

• If there are windows open anywhere else, ghostty opens in the top left corner. This is annoying, but you get used to it because that is how gnome-terminal and nemo (file explorer) do it too.

If anyone has any tips on what this behavior is called, or where it is applied in Ghostty source code/ settings, I would be curious.

I reopened this discussion and edited it with a more direct question. Thank you for the Cinnamon support! Feel free to close this if it is not relevant.

Here is a list of previous issues. I have found some others in the past year in frustration with the initial window size. But I feel like it is now fixed!
