Comment #11 on issue 17822 by djmcfar: Save monitor work rects with window positions, use them to determine how to adjust restored windows http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17822
There are millions of users worldwide which routinely connect and disconnect their laptops from a secondary monitor (for obvious reasons of the superior display when they have access to it). I ran into this problem today after watching a few techonline webinars and then disconnecting a secondary monitor after I was done, and then attempting to restart GC (Google Chrome). Rebooting did not help any (I still had an inaccessible and invisible GC running on my machine) so I uninstalled GC, rebooted again, and then reinstalled GC and the problem persisted. This means that the registry entries that are responsible for this bad behavior are not removed by the un-install process. So now,I am stuck... I literally can not use GC on this machine. Sure, I could write an app that attempts to remove all leftover entries from uninstalled applications, but I don't think that is going to happen. Note that I have 25 years experience in programming (mostly c, c++ and assembly languages), and understand that this feature was originally intended to be something that other browsers don't do, but you obviously did not cover all of the bases. I was hoping that GC would become the world's preferred browser, but I can guarantee you as sure as I am sitting here, that will not happen unless you fix this issue, regardless of whatever other features you may add. I could go on and on and on about this (including implementation details) but suffice it to say... " back to Firefox". Good luck.
