Windows not centered when using `position: center` in Linux
See original GitHub issueNWJS Version : 0.61.0 through 0.64.1 Operating System : Linux (Ubuntu 20.04)
Expected behavior
When setting position: center in a window’s manifest, that window should appear centered on the primary display.
Actual behavior
The position: center manifest property is ignored, starting with NW.js version 0.61.0. Windows appear in the top-left corner, instead.
This works properly with NW.js 0.60.0 and earlier builds. It fails with 0.61.0 and all later builds.
How to reproduce
package.json
{
"name": "test",
"main": "index.html",
"window": {
"position": "center"
}
}
index.html
<html><body>Hello world</body></html>

This is still broken in NW.js 0.65.1. I can also confirm it happens in both Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04.
