(Jakub Harasny – retesting this issue)

I tried to replicate this issue for:
Apache OpenOffice 4.1.2
Apache OpenOffice 4.1.3

Environment:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
Version: 10.0.14393 Build 14393
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8120 Eight-Core Processor, 3100 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical
Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB

I can confirm that this issue for “spellchecker” is fixed – the pop-up window
always opens in the middle of the active screen. However when investigating
this issue I realised that pop up windows behaviour is not consistent for many
other Writer tabs/settings Writer. It seems that Writer remembers for many
windows where actually the window was closed and it will open next time where
it was closed (even divided on a two screens). I attached two “odt” files which
I used for the testing on two screens (windows extended display mode). 

Steps to reproduce issue
1.    Open two attached files (Screen 1, Screen 2). E.g. “Screen 1” on your
main    screen and “Screen 2” on your second screen (you can open them on
fullscreen for better visibility but is not mandatory) 
2.    When Screen 1 is active click “F7” on your keyboard to open spellchecker
3.    Spellchecker opens in the middle of the FIRST screen 
4.    Close the spellchecker and make your second screen active and click “F7” 
  again
5.    Spellchecker opens in the middle of the SECOND screen
6.    Now repeat the steps 1-4 for “F1” button (to open help)
7.    The second time when you open the Help window it opens in the same place
where it was when you were opening it for the first time not in the middle of
the second screen. You can even move the window to a different place

I have done the test for a few different windows to check how they handle this
issue.
Tested “Writer” windows which open incorrectly are:
Help 
Tools -> Options
Format -> Columns
Even whole program opens always in the place/screen where you closed it last
time.

Issue can be quite annoying when you work with few documents on two screens as
it is hard to remember where pop up window was opened last time. I think that
the best solution would be to always open the windows in the active screen (on
screen on which you look at the time of opening it), so you will not have to
look for it each time. Applying solution like for the spellchecker could make
future users life easier.
