4.4.0

In addition, dialogue boxes are also appearing on the wrong monitor too, and the splash screen on startup.

Same here, but I have three screens (which windows labels 3, 1, 2). Menus and dialogues always open on the leftmost screen (3), regardless of where the MS app is open. When MS is on the leftmost screen (3), everything appears in the correct place, but when its elsewhere, the UI items that appear on the leftmost screen (3) are as far right as they can go without showing anything on the middle screen (1).

Incidentally, the Appearance pop-over that appears when clicking the button in the Properties pane doesn't appear at all on any screen when the MS window isn't on my leftmost screen. Something very odd about multi-screen set-ups - are these tested in the release process?

Same problem.

I use two displays. Primary on the left, secondary on the right. The window always appears on the right when opening the program, even though that's the secondary display. If I move the window over to the primary display, the pulldown menus appear on the secondary display, as if that's where the main window is. I don't know about other dialogs, etc. I didn't test those, but I see others say they are messed up too.

Also, I see no way to have the program appear on the primary display when I open MuseScore. If I previously closed the program when the window was maximized, it always opens on the secondary display.

This is only if I use the window maximized. If not fully maximized, then the program seems to remember the position and size when opening. It remembers which display I was on too in that case. Either way, the menu positions are messed up.

It's almost as if the developer that tested this code has his primary display on the right, and secondary on the left. Just a guess.

I've used GitHub Windows build artefacts to try to see when this was introduced, but the 4.3.2 nightly builds all work, and 4.4.0 only goes back as far as mid-June, when this bug was still present, so it was introduced some time before then.

Using Windows 10 and MuseScore Studio v4.4.0.242390800. I use 3 monitors, with my main display on the right, second on the left, and then a third above.

When I have MuseScore Studio open on my main (right) monitor, and I click on a menu item, the dropdown options appear in my secondary (left) monitor.
