Don't know if it's related but on Windows 7 sometimes a subpatch window will be positioned outside of my monitor and the only way to get it back is to first maximize it from the taskbar (it will then fill the screen) and then make it smaller by dragging the window border (clicking the middle button on the top right wouldn't work). Happens rather randomly.

hi !
I finally got to my studio with seconday monitor to test again and could reproduce the behavior :
My setup :maybe it's OS related, however, it is really annoying and for me it is not caused by changing anything in screen setup or plugging/unplugging monitors. I just cannot drag subpatches on the secondary-on-left screen.
Though, I have not tried to switch monitors position yet...
have a nice day !

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
