Reported from a multi-monitor station: window.json held x=-7680 and the
window opened where nobody could see it, with no way back short of
editing the file — which nobody knows to do.
The guard existed but asked the wrong question. It tested the position
against the VIRTUAL SCREEN, the rectangle spanning every monitor, and
monitors rarely tile that rectangle: a wide screen beside a tall one, or
one mounted higher, leaves gaps inside the box that belong to no monitor.
A window in a gap passes a bounding-box test and is invisible. The test
now walks the monitors themselves, through EnumDisplayMonitors, and uses
each one's WORK area — a title bar under the taskbar cannot be dragged
either.
A position that is genuinely lost is now MOVED onto the nearest monitor,
keeping the window's size. Handing it back to Windows lost the size too
and dropped the window on the primary screen wherever Windows chose.
The arithmetic is in screenclamp.go with no Win32 in it, and tested
against the reporter's four-monitor layout and against a gap between two:
this fault is invisible by definition and cannot be reproduced without
the reporter's screens, so a table test is the only place it can be held.
The layout is also logged at every start, since the first question after
'OpsLog does not open' is what the screens looked like.
