Description
Mostly I using arduino ide on my laptop with external monitors (desktop setup). Yesterday I detach my laptop, and plan to flash one of my board on external location.
Starting Arduino IDE (latest) but the window not show in my laptop monitor.
To fix this issue, I need to modify c:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Arduino15\preferences.txt file and delete all ".*\.location=" property, and after that, the app open in my primary monitor.
Possible solutions of this problem if on application start the ide check actual desktop size, and if the saved locations outside with the active desktop area, ignore the saved coordinates.
