Comment 4 for bug 1715467

The behavior I experienced was immediately after a first-time-ever install of Inkscape on the computer. So if any usability problems are related to settings, it indicates that better default settings are in order, or else a re-thinking of what those settings are.

I selected "Don't save window geometry" and retested the repro. Now there is a different bug: Inkscape now keeps the window position (good), but its size expands such that it flows off-screen. I think it is assumes it's window position is near the upper left, and is making itself nearly the size of the monitor, but since it's somewhere in the middle of the monitor, it's too big. The solution is to keep the position and the size the same (not just the position).

When I had the default setting of "Save and restore window geometry for each document", there were multiple problems:
- Inkscape opened the document in the upper left corner of my middle monitor, even though my right monitor is primary.
- With this setting, Inkscape shouldn't have done any window movement at all. There was already a blank window open from when I launched Inkscape. It should have just reused its position.

If I enable "Remember and use the last window's geometry", then the behavior works well. The window stays put and doesn't fall off the screen. Both other modes look like they need some fine tuning.

A possibly related bug is when I first opened Preferences, the window was really tiny. See the screen shot.
