I use 2 monitors in the office and one at home. I have Notepad++ on monitor 2 at the office. I move it to monitor 1 before I shutdown, I restart and Notepad++ is on monitor 1, but if I do a find, the dialogue is on "monitor 2", which makes it unusable. If I shut down and restart it is fine.
Be nice if the app handled this change correctly.

Using 4.9.2 on XP Pro, I have so far been unable to reproduce this problem. I do the following:
(1) drag N++ to monitor 2,
(2) use Ctrl-F to open the Find dialog from there -- it opens on monitor 1,
(3) drag the Find dialog to monitor 2,
(4) close then reopen the Find dialog to confirm that it's still on monitor 2 (it is),
(5) close the Find dialog,
(6) drag N++ to monitor 1,
(7) close N++ and disconnect monitor 2,
(8) open N++ -- it opens on monitor 1,
(9) use Ctrl-F to open the Find dialog from there -- it opens on monitor 1.
Is this what you do?
I'm not sure what you mean by "shutdown" (as in, "I move it to monitor 1 before I shutdown"). Do you mean that you use Start: Shut Down, then Shut Down? Or is it Start: Shut Down, then Stand By ? (or Log off) ?

Not exactly. Here is what I do.
- Start npp on monitor 1 move to 2.
- open find dialogue. drag to 2
- make sure still opens on 2.
- with find closed, drag npp to monitor 1
- hibernate and restart with only a single monitor connected.
- open the find dialogue.
Got it. Thanks.
I'm able to reproduce the problem, and I'm sending to Don some source code modifications to fix it.
Regards.

Don has confirmed that the modifications will be merged in the v5 beta.
Regards.
