How is Path of Building expected to behave?

When opening PoB after closing it maximized on a secondary monitor with a resolution smaller than the main monitor's, it should open maximized with the resolution of the monitor it is opening on.

How does Path of Building behave?

It opens maximized on the secondary monitor but using the resolution of the main monitor.

How to reproduce the issue
  1. Have 2 monitors where your main monitor's resolution is bigger than the secondary one. (In my case, 1440p main display and 1080p secondary)
  2. Close PoB while maximized on the secondary monitor
  3. Open PoB

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a larger main monitor and smaller secondary monitor, then close and reopen PoB maximized on the secondary display. Trace the beta graphics engine's window-size and monitor-selection handling. Done means reopening maximized on the secondary monitor uses that monitor's resolution rather than the main monitor's.
