Description
Noticed by Daron Standly on jalview-discuss:
Hi-
I sometimes use an external monitor with my mac powerbook. When I have the external monitor unplugged, the Jalview window still opens off-screen
(i.e., where the monitor used to be). This occurs even if I reboot. Strangely, things like File->Input Alignment occur on the main window, even if I attach
an external monitor (which is painful, because of the need to switch back and forth between screens when opening a file).
I wouldn't say this is a high priority issue, since it is probably OS dependent , and I can work with Jalview as long as I have the extra monitor plugged in.
However, it is something that might need to be fixed eventually.
Thanks in advance for any hints for a workaround.

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******
I've also noticed this on Windows - but have not been able to reliably reproduce as yet. I suspect its a problem that the methods to get the physical extent of the screen in OSX behave differently to windows, and Jalview isn't repositioning the desktop window correctly on startup when the last dimensions stored in the preferences file are out of bounds.
