I just got reminded that I can consistently get calibre not starting with the last screen position

If I start calibre and immediately - i.e. before calibre starts to paint its window (I don't show the startup splash), give focus to an already running application then calibre will paint itself into a position where its about half off both the right and bottom edges of the monitor.

Some time in the past I may have dragged calibre into that position to get partially it out of the way - but that wasn't where it was last time I closed calibre - it was weeks/months/years ago

I'm posting this for the benefit of developers because, for me at least, its consistent and it may give them a clue as to what might have created frank14612's original problem.

This is not a recent phenomena, can't say when I first noticed it, maybe it's been there 'forever' - ie since I started using calibre in late 2011.
