Please try latest build of 6.0. I've just tried described scenario and it works as expected.

Well I am afraid I don't know where to reassign this issue. dsimonek you have several DUAL_MONITOR issues assigned,
could you help, please?
Comment 5 David Simonek 2007-07-27 09:56:53 UTC 
Sometimes I think I have all UI issues in the world assigned to me :-)

IMHO this may be driven by some setting in Win OS, isn't it a feature that app should always start on primary monitor?
Cezariusz, do other apps behave differently?

Passing to Standa to test on Win OS...

All Microsoft Office applications and Internet Explorer 7.0 opens where closed (on the secondary monitor if they have 
been closed on the secondary monitor), Total Commander also, but you have to call "Save position" while on the 
secondary monitor. My own application (http://midicat.net) also opens where closed - I just remember the position, 
which seems to extend to the secondary display.

Verified with 6.0 Beta 2.

The splash still opens on the primary monitor, but it's not a big deal.
