Description
No idea if this is inherently a sticky problem: I managed to get a sticky note out of my display boundaries:
You are seeing my three screens (colored), and in the lower right corner, outside of all screens, a sticky note. I am using virtual desktops, this is part of a screenshot from the overview page. Because I seldomly use the overview page I was thinking that the note had "disappeared".
Not sure how the sticky note wound up there.
Workaround: removing all screens but one made the sticky note appear on that screen. Moving the sticky note around, then re-adding the screens fixed the problem. The moving around part was important, otherwise it would show on the single screen, but not when all screens are connected.
Mint 22.2, Notes 1.27

Research direction
Begin by reproducing the issue with Mint 22.2 and Notes 1.27 using multiple screens and virtual desktops. Trace how sticky-note positions are stored and restored when displays are connected or removed; done means notes remain visible within the available display boundaries after reconnecting screens.
