Unfortunately, this is how Wayland behaves right now.

When I tried to complain they said that saving/restoring perspective
is in the works.

But I sure hope that when people will switch to Wayland that DB

in the previous reply will still be positioned on the center of the screen.
Or even better - on the center of the main frame and not somewhere else.

Thank you.
