Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in FancyZones with “Move newly created windows to the current active monitor” enabled, using Affinity Designer 2.6.5 on Windows 11. Observe where the Export window is created relative to the active monitor; done means newly created windows consistently open on that monitor.
