From what I can tell, if the window placement is beyond the virtual screen size, it gets clipped back to the main screen
which was very much desired behaviour by a lot of people: if you edit your patch on the right-of-main screen and save, what should happen if you re-open it on a single-screen setup? obviously nobody wanted the patch to be hidden offscreen. hence the (somewhat buggy) logic of re-placing the windows.
however, before any changes are made to fix the issue, i wonder what would the correct behaviour be, if you work on a somewhat weird four-screen setup forming an L-like shape like this ("O" being a screen) O OOO (with the main screen being in the lower-left corner and the Pd-patch being in the upper-right corner). and then you want to open up the patch on a system with a screen setup like: O O O O
these examples are obviously made-up and nobody will ever going to use them (but then, nobody in their right minds is going to use a left-of-main-screen setup or stacking screens vertically rather than horizontally).
i guess one sane way to handle this is to
- check whether the window visible on any screen
- if not, fold it back to the main screen
