QA-test of Lubuntu 19.04 (x86_64) on
"hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600)"

and I'm getting lots of strange behavior on windows.. this for now will cover the first noticed.

two monitors; 'main' is the top (how its connected), secondary is below and slightly left..

for me monitor2 is easy to read, so pcmanfm-qt was somewhere near middle of monitor2, I was exploring my hdd & opened a partition -- WINDOW MOVES

the pcmanfm-qt window jumped, and now top of it is on monitor1 (top) and most on monitor2.

I drag it back to all on monitor2 and pick another partition - it MOVEs again

(this was repeated, each time I moved it to anywhere fully on monitor2 it warped to top being on monitor1, and most of monitor2 if I selected a suse partition (data or system). IF however i had the window fully on monitor1 (my top) it would stay put & wouldn't move. I would get the strange behavior on switch to EITHER SUSE partition. It would sometimes move if I selected a fedora partition (sys or data), but ALWAYS did it for SUSE (if windows was fully on monitor2)

I already had terminal open, so switched started `ubuntu-bug pcmanfm-qt` which has led to this report... I hadn't taken photos so I took some (which will be added). ubuntu-bug opened firefox & firefox window opens strangely on monitor2 (another pic; i may add to this, or another bug, another pic), then to get specs of machine ctrl-alt-T & term-opens mostly-off-screen (monitor1). all I suspect are related due I think to my monitor setup/positioning, but I'll deal with pcmanfm-qt first

I'll file the other strange window behavior in another bug, as I'm getting strange behavior (described above) in pcmanfm-qt on choosing partitions that sometimes causes the jump, sometimes no (eg. not always does it jump when I select a fedora partition? but suse partition appears to always cause jump).
