Research direction
Investigate how the window position is saved and restored, likely in MainWindow.cpp. Check for any incremental offset being added on each open/close cycle, possibly due to saving the window state before it fully closes or using screen coordinates incorrectly. Look at the saveGeometry() and restoreGeometry() calls, and verify that the saved position is not being modified by the window manager. Examine recent commits related to window state management.
