Make sure template manager opens when you start impress. Start LO from console as: ./soffice --impress => Template manager opens in top left corner instead of the center. However, it opens in the center if first the start center is started, and Impress is opened from there. Observed using LO 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ (c8c0292c2152df8c353aeff32896f0cfa8a53a64) / Ubuntu 18.04. No issue in LO 6.2.0.3. => regression Bibisected to the following commit using repo bibisect-linux-64-6.3.

Which vclplug does this happen in, is it just the gtk (2) one ? Or are you seeing it in another one ?
Actually, it's the gtk3 one (and I checked now, it doesn't occur with gtk backend): Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: a183955acacbc1a3e8579f360f12fd37536120fc CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
odd, that seems to be fine for me locally. I imagine the problem is it centers itself on the background window before that window takes its final size. Maybe I need to try under X to see if that reproduces it.
I can confirm with Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 31ac398cfa30694b18240d31df17a58d699b5bf6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
yeah, reproducible under X
