Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue after attaching a monitor and setting it as primary, then trace the panel placement and new browser-window placement paths. Compare behavior before and after manually moving the panel to the new monitor. Done means both the panel and newly opened browser windows automatically use the primary monitor; no file or test is named in the report.
