Application and windows are created off-screen on multi-monitor setup

[Yvan Rodrigues]

I am running a Windows quad-monitor setup. The monitors are different sizes, orientations, and resolutions:

xx-B
AA-B-CC-DD

where:
A = 4K landscape
B = 4K portrait
C = 1080 landscape
D = 1080 landscape
x = when window usually "opens"

When I open Inkscape, it often/usually opens off-screen and cannot be reached with the mouse. As a workaround, I use Alt-Space to bring up the system menu, and move the window on-screen.

When I open something that opens in its own window, like an undocked panel, it may render off-screen and there is no way to access it.

I changed my preferences to not save window locations etc. I'm not sure how much difference this makes.

If I were to guess I would say that the application/framework is virtualizing all of the possible screen area, orientation and all, determining the bounds, and opening at 0,0.

This sounds similar to the Mac issue that has been reported, but not necessarily the same.

Please add information about OS/platform and Inkscape version to the bug description, thank you.
Which installer package did you use for Inkscape - 32bit or 64bit?

Sorry for the possible duplicate. I searched for multi/multiple/monitor but missed that.
