Description

Brief summary

If Miru is closed (e.g. by pressing "x" in top right) while in second monitor, upon opening the app the next time the window / UI is not visible unless you use a shortcut like win+shift+left arrow to move the Miru app. After using the previously mentioned shortcut to move the Miru window between monitors, it becomes visible and can be interacted with normally. Without using the windows shortcut, I was only able to restore normal functionality by deleting the miru folder in user documents (likely due to erasing my saved setting).

Notes on my set up: two monitors arranged vertically (one above one below) Upper monitor is a 4k resolution, lower is 1080.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Miru app.
  2. Move to second monitor
  3. Close Miru
  4. Open Miru app (Miru is now hidden from view until rearranged with shortcut)

Miru version

1.8.1

Device

Windows 10

Research direction
Investigate window position saving and restoration logic in the app. The issue likely lies in the window manager or configuration storage (e.g., SharedPreferences). Check files related to window positioning, such as 'lib/app/app.dart' or any use of 'WindowManager' plugin. The bug occurs when closing on a secondary monitor; the position might be saved incorrectly or not restored. Look at the 'initState' or 'onWindowClose' handlers to understand how window bounds are persisted.
