Description: In Multimonitor configuration if the default/primary monitor is on the right, opening a Libreoffice application opens on the left monitor which is not the default/primary. The same applies if you try to open an encrypted document (eg calc). The popup window for the password goes to the wrong monitor. Sometimes it goes to the other monitor than the one where the main window is! Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make a multimonitor setup. Put the default/primary monitor on the right. 2.Try to open a libreoffice application. 3.Application will open on the left monitor not the default/primary on the right. Actual Results: Windows open on different monitors than the default/primary one. Expected Results: Windows should open on the default / primary monitor, because users could have the rest monitors powered off.

Since LibreOffice vcl composes to a virtual display with left most 0,0 on the left display it is not surprising that launching on non-primary monitor happens. You can look at the user profile for the ooSetupFactoryWindowAttributes for each module and follow along for changes for LO launch with different display configurations and module use. Losing content off display probably shouldn't happen. But seems an issue for the backend vcl to get the LO Start Center and modules to adjust onto the correct "default" display when secondary monitor is not available. Either translate, or fall back to single display defaults. @Jan-Marek would multi-head display testing be something more needed with the vcl::WindowPosSize work?
I could not reproduce, from LO 7.2 through 7.5.1.2 to a recent trunk build. Splash screen and window open on the main display if the pointer is there too. However, when the main monitor is on the left, I can often see the LO splash screen pop up on the right screen even though the window opens on the left and the cursor stays on the left. So there is an inconsistency there. Other apps like Lollypop, QGIS, Zotero will open as expected on the active, main display. On the other hand, I could see Electron apps like RStudio and Element open in the wrong display. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 with GNOME 3.36.8 on Wayland.
