Details:
I have a laptop running Windows 10 with Octave 5.1.0. When it is docked, the
laptop has 2 monitors.
I ran the Octave GUI, displayed on Monitor 2 (the slave monitor) which is an
extended desktop from the Master monitor.
When I tried to run Octave undocked, on the laptop screen, it wouldn't start.
It created an icon on the taskbar then did nothing else. When I hovered over
the icon with the mouse, it displayed an empty preview window.
I tried lots of things to resolve it: power cycle, reinstall, install 32bit
version, reinstall 64bit version and the same behaviour persisted. The CLI
version ran fine throughout this.
I fixed it by opening Octave when docked, moving the window into the main
monitor, then closing again. Now it opens fine on the laptop screen when not
docked.
I suspect that Octave stores its last screen position, but if the last screen
position was on a monitor that isn't there any more it just hangs and waits
for it. (Rather than initialising to a default location).
