When applying a window rule to a view that generates multiple pre-map transactions, such as Microsoft Edge, the place plugin can override the rule during startup. This affects set geometry and move actions, causing the window to be placed by the place plugin instead of at the position specified by the window rule.

When applying a window rule to a view that generates multiple pre-map transactions, such as Microsoft Edge, the
placeplugin can run again after the rule has already set the initial position. Sinceon createdrules are only applied once, a subsequent placement pass can overridemoveorset geometry, causing the view to be positioned byplaceinstead of at the coordinates specified by the rule.Mark views moved by
window-rulesbefore mapping with the existingstartup-xandstartup-yproperties. Theplaceplugin already treats these properties as an indication that the initial position has been explicitly specified and skips placement.This preserves explicit
moveandset geometryactions across subsequent pre-map transactions without changing the behavior of views that have not been explicitly positioned.
