Window placement with more screens

sredna Registered Member Posts 225 Karma 1 OS	Window placement with more screens Mon Jun 28, 2021 7:55 am I have an extra monitor, typically extenden to the left. My laptop monitor is the primary screen, and "active screen" is set to follow mouse. But when I open a new window/app, it is ALWAYS placed on the external monitor. Likewise, when the external monitor is added, ALL windows are moved there. I do NOT like that. I would like that I could decide to move windows, and where they are initially placed. Question: Is there a way to achieve that, or need I file a wishlist request?

The behavior appears to be quite random - sometimes it works, sometimes not. Apps are allowed to decide where windows are placed, as per default settings. Maybe that is teh problem or part of it?
