Floating windows pop up hidden, or in inconvenient locations on Redhat Linux

[Mcheah]

Hi,

I am using NoMachine on Windows to connect to a Red Hat box to use Cadence EDA software remotely.  I’m using floating window mode because it allows me to use three monitors effectively to organize my environment.  The issue I am having is that when I open a new schematic, or really any operation that pops up a new window, the window will either be completely hidden, and I need to right click it on the task bar and select “Move” and manually place it on the center of my screen or it will generate a new window that is placed at the center of all three of my monitors. This is somewhat problematic because my monitors are arranged in a triangle, which means that when small dialog boxes pop up, only a sliver of the window is visible on all three of my screens. This makes I’m spending 10x the amount of time that I really should be rearranging windows so that they’re actually visible on one of my screens.

Is there an option on NoMachine to make new windows pop up directly centered on a specific monitor, or even better on the monitor that was last interacted with?  I have the option to use “remote desktop mode” and render the entire OS environment as a single window, but this defeats the purpose of using NoMachine because I surrender the ability to use Windows’ native window management and effective multi-monitor support. Thanks.

I am using NoMachine workstation on Windows 10, version 5.0.53

I believe the server on Red Hat is running NoMachine enterprise, version 5.053

There is no option at the moment. This is how NoMachine works right now, but you will be surely interested in the following Feature Request:
