Description
Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.17-20160908172408+f09996a
When the Windows taskbar is placed vertically on the left side of the screen, left clicking on the Keybase.io app icon in the system tray/notification area brings up the UI positioned to the left of the Taskbar and thus most of it is off the screen, rendering it unuseable.
Repro Steps:
- Ensure the Windows Taskbar is placed vertically on the left-most edge of your desktop (right-click it, ensure that "Lock the Taskbar" is unchecked, then left-click and drag it to the edge).
- Left-click on the Keybase.io icon in the system tray.
Expected Results:
The Keybase.io window would appear positioned to the right of the taskbar in its entirety.
Actual Results:
The window is placed partially off the left side of the screen. See the below screenshot.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the system-tray click on Windows 10 with the taskbar docked vertically on the left, then trace the GUI popup's positioning entry point. Done means the Keybase window appears fully on screen to the right of the taskbar; no file or test is named in the issue.
