Open all reconciliation windows in the same location

The reconciliation windows for each account in QMac appear in different places on-screen - unique (last dragged-to location) for each account. This might well be a feature, but I don't think it is a useful one.

When docking a laptop to one or more monitors and then using the laptop on its own, these windows either appear in strange locations, or even nearly 90% off the screen and have to be dragged back to a desired location for every single account.

It would be great if rather than screen locations per-account for each window, the reconciliation windows all appeared (at least initially) in the same place - maybe even centered on the screen?

If not that, then - noting my laptop issue with just the edge of the reconciliation windows appearing on-screen and having to drag back to see the content - if QMac would never display any UI element "off the screen", but move it onto the screen so that it is fully visible. (This issue I think only arises with laptops that are sometimes docked and sometimes used alone.)

    It also happens if you normally use your data file on a dual monitor desktop Mac and then move it to a laptop for travel. Those window positions are apparently stored within the data file itself, so they travel along with the file. Not only is the change from dual monitor to single monitor an issue, but I think the change in screen resolution from 4K on the desktop to something smaller on the laptop is causing a problem.
