Calibre 6.6.0 edit metadata window

[kovidgoyal]

That will be a bug in Qt again.

Oups, sorry, I have mixed-up left and right : Monitor 1 is right, Monitor 2 is left, and Calibre splashes from the left side of Monitor 2 to the right side of Monitor 1.

It happened already in Calibre 5.x

Haven't tried calibre launch from the taskbar, though.
It could be tied to the nVidia driver, but I doubt it, because no application, so far, happen to behave that way on my system...

FWIW, this doesn't happen for me.

The experiment: monitor 1 is on the left, 2 on the right. Running calibre 6.6.1 with a shortcut on monitor 1 opens calibre where it last closed, on monitor 1. I move calibre to monitor 2 and close it. Using the shortcut on monitor 1, calibre opens where it was on monitor 2. I then move the shortcut to monitor 2 and repeat the above. Same outcome.

The monitors are driven by the Intel UHD Graphics adapter inside my Intel NUC10i7FNB. The full HW and SW version information is here:

Ok, I just redid the experiment, and now it works as it should ! The last time I tried, though, on Calibre 6.1, the bug was still there. Now it is gone... I suppose something changed and was unnoticed, either in Qt6 or nVida driver.
Thanks a lot for all your answers !
