Description

  • Have PoB maximized on one screen (main display setting doesn't matter, always reproduces on my right screen)
  • Close PoB to save SimpleGraphic.cfg, results in:
set vid_mode "8"
set vid_fullscreen "0" // This seems suspicious
set vid_resizable "3"
set vid_last "1920,1017,0,23,1"
  • Open PoB again, find it on the same screen you closed it on
  • Minimize PoB, restore PoB, find that it appears on the other window
  • Note this only happens after restarting

Start by reproducing the restart, minimize, and restore sequence described in the issue, then inspect how the window state is saved to SimpleGraphic.cfg. Done means PoB restores to the same screen after restarting and then minimizing and restoring the window.
