            Bug ID: 144508
           Summary: Detached side menu off-screen can't be returned to
                    visible area
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
I used shift-control-F10 to detach the sidebar and moved it to a position on an
8K display where It was out of the way. Now I had to return the display and the
window stayed where I put it. I can re-attach it using control-shift-F10 again
but as soon as I detach it the window is... wherever it is. The usual methods
Windows is providing me don't work because I can't select that window and move
(or resize) it using the keyboard.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move a detached window to a "far out" position.
2. Reduce screen size so the window is outside the desktop area covered now.
3. Try to get access to the sub-window.

Actual Results:
The window is outside and no known method is getting it back.

Expected Results:
The application should checking if a window it is opening (e. g. by detaching
the side bar) and which has a recorded former position is *not* put to the
former position if that would locate the window outside the area accessible to
the user.

So either check i a window is inside the visible desktop area and correct its
position or offer a function to "collect" all open windows within the visible
area of the desktop. Best might be both.

It happens with or without OpenGL. Windows is just doing what it is supposed to
and the clipping is working perfectly.

The problem is not depending on the LibreOffice version and (surprise)
OpenOffice and other siblings show the same problem.
