Fork opening outside of monitor area when changing monitor layout or monitor is removed #2674

It seems to be trying to save the position it were on last launch, but if I'm not using the monitor where it was connected in from the previous launch, it won't be visible.

This is the only thing that changed in my setup since Friday (other than connecting to a different wifi). I don't have access to my external monitor today and Fork refuses to show up on the laptop monitor. It launches and it is on the taskbar, but it doesn't show up on the screen.

I used to have that problem on Windows 10 too, but Win+D used to solve it as it seemed to reset the windows' positioning. Now on Windows 11, that doesn't work anymore.

This doesn't seem to be a Windows issue because this is the only program that has this behaviour. Every other program that I open on an external monitor will open on the laptop's monitor when the external monitor isn't connected.

Edit in case more people is having this issue: I was able to work around this bug today by restarting windows, first thing opening Fork and before Windows applied the Windows 11 context menu, I was able to right click it on the taskbar and select "maximize" (which isn't available on Windows 11 normally for some reason after it's fully loaded). Then I dragged it out of the maximized state, which made it visible in restored state too (that was my issue originally. It was maximized and visible on start, but then I hit the restore button and it was sent to oblivion).
