Description
Environment
Windows build number: 10.0.18363.535
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.7.3451.0
Steps to reproduce
- Have a dual-screen setup with primary screen on the right, secondary on the left.
- Open the Windows Terminal on a primary (right) screen.
- Lock the workstation, go somewhere and connect via RDP using 1 screen configuration.
- WT windows are observed on the RDP session single screen.
- End RDP session, go back.
- All WT windows are moved off-screen, past the right edge of the primary (right) screen.
Expected behavior
WT windows should stay on the primary (right) screen.
Actual behavior
WT windows are displayed off-screen. It is possible to drag them back via ALT+Space -> Move but is very annoying.

Research direction
The payload names no source files, entry points, or tests. Reproduce the dual-monitor and single-screen RDP sequence described, then trace the window-position restoration behavior; done means Terminal windows return to the primary right-hand screen after the RDP session ends without requiring Alt+Space.
