Opening and closing Ubuntu applications in multiple displays
I am facing a peculiar problem in Ubuntu 18.04. I have an extended display in office, and I had opened a csv file with libreoffice and viewed it in the extended display, and then closed it that display.
Now I am at home, and have only the laptop display available, and when I am trying to open the same file (or any other csv file) the file is opened but I don't see it on screen. I know the file is opened because in the vertical bar on the left side of screen, I can see the librecalc icon with one red dot on it, and when I right-click on that icon and press "All Windows" then I can see an icon of the file that is opened with its 3 rows of data. Also when I do "ps -ef | grep libre" I can see the process still running.
home/xxx$ ps -ef | grep libre
xxx 7948 1227 0 20:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/oosplash --calc file:///home/xxx/Desktop/desktop_files/try/x1.csv
xxx 7966 7948 1 20:57 ? 00:00:04 /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --calc file:///home/xxx/Desktop/desktop_files/try/x1.csv --splash-pipe=5
Next day, when at office and the extended display again available, I could now open the same csv file - the application opened up in the extended display. But this time I dragged the application to the laptop display and closed the application there. After that when I opened the csv file again, this time the file opened properly in the laptop display.
So, how do I reset the application, so that it now opens only in the display that is available? Note: The csv file is very small, just about 300 bytes and 3 rows of data, and it opens fine with MS excel or WPS tools.
NOTE: I had posted this question on stackoverflow/55401731, but it got downvoted without any explanation. It is a genuine problem with ubuntu extended display, and currently there is no solution available on googling. As a courtesy, if you are downvoting, can you give an explanation why you are downvoting?
