Three-monitor system with Windows 8.1

Repro:
Open Geany and drag it's window to right monitor; maximize it
Close Geany
Open Geany: The maximized Geany window appears on the left monitor

Expected:
Geany should re-open on the same monitor as it was, when closing it

Note: When Geany is NOT maximized, closing and re-opening it, Geany re-opens on the same monitor as it was closed on.

    Geany just returns the settings it is given when it shuts down, can
    you post the value of the line in your config file that starts
    "geometry=" after geany has re-opened unmaximised and after it has
    re-opened maximised.

    Non-maximized, monitor 1. Re-opens on monitor 1
    geometry=195;51;1298;848;0;

    Maximized, monitor 1. Re-opens maximized on monitor 1
    geometry=-8;-8;1920;1017;1;

    Non-maximized, monitor 3. Re-opens on monitor 3
    geometry=4113;53;1227;803;0;

    Maximized, monitor 3. Re-opens on monitor 1
    geometry=3832;-8;1920;1017;1

    Looking at the saved geometry you will notice that there are negative
    positions in both the maximised cases. This may be confusing the
    system when Geany send it back the values the system gave it.

    Not sure what we can do since we don't know what is a legal or illegal value.
