Bug Description
Window sizes and placement are not remembered on next launch. They fill an area fit for the size of the larger monitor, or snap to the left edge filling the height but only about 200px wide. They also open on a seemingly random monitor.
-------
Desired Solution:
- Fix bug with windows opening on the left side of the monitor at a width of roughtly 200px
- Windows should always re-open on the same monitor they were on when they were closed as long as that specific monitor is currently attached.
- Window sizes and placements should always be remembered and restored when a application is subsequently launched. The only excption is when a window's last position is partially off screen. In this case the window should be restored to the nearest position in which all four sides of the window are completly on screen. Also see bug https:/

[The Design Team has identified this as a blocker issue for precise, so setting the Importance to Critical. This may be adjusted down once the bug has received further design and engineering analysis, if appropriate.]
