Comment 7 for bug 167714

Originator: NO

I have observed the same behavior. In my case, the file was created on a
laptop computer with external monitor used as an extended desktop. The
file was created on the external monitor. After saving the file, when
attempting to open the file on the laptop without external monitor
attached, the window flies off the side of the laptop screen.

One semi-workaround is to maximize the window. However, there is no way
to restore the window to the laptop screen. Only the maximized window is
viewable.

This seems to me to clearly be a bug. It is a problem created through
normal use of Inkscape. A valid file is created using Inkscape. A valid
file is opened and cannot be viewed properly. I didn't even know it was
possible for a window to open completely offscreen...I don't see how this
could be considered acceptable. Even a warning suggesting adjustment of
the file by hand might suffice.

As for exposure, I would expect that the use of multiple monitors is
fairly common with drawing applications. So I would expect many people to
encounter this bug.
