I fully agree with this regarding per-document last positions. I would like to
add that, for systems using multiple monitors, the last used monitor itself
should be saved as well (unless the system is treating multiple monitors as one
huge screen). Another aspect that needs recording with the document is whether
or not extra panels are being displayed. I prefer to use Writer with the
Navigator panel showing whereas I prefer Calc without it. However, like other
settings, this appears to be a global setting which then requires me to open
the navigator on Writer if the last file closed was Calc or vice-versa.

I don't use the Start Center and always double-click the document in File
Explorer (Windows 10) or, for commonly used documents, on their icon on my
desktop, so I haven't experienced the issue with that aspect.

However, after recently upgrading from 7.3.5 to 7.4.0, I found that EVERY
window was opening on my left-hand monitor at quite a small initial size - my
monitors are both 1920 x 1200 and the initial window was probably around 1024 x
800. This was extremely annoying as I had to reposition and resize EVERY
document I opened. After finding that 7.4.1 still had the same regression, I
downgraded to 7.3.6 and the problem went away and windows now (usually but not
always) open on the monitor they were last used on at the last used size. I
won't be upgrading past 7.3.6 until I know this regression has been fixed.
