It happens on the web browser too?

No, it just happens on the Desktop app

Rocket.Chat Desktop App Version

3.9.4 / 3.9.5 / 3.9.6

Rocket.Chat Server Version

6.2.5

Describe the bug

Rocket Chat window doesn't start in the last known position if the position was at the edge of the screen. No matter what edge (or corner) it is, RC always starts in random position. Problem occurs with multiple and single screen setups without changing the sreens setup.

If the last window position wasn't at the edge - RC starts in that position with unharmed window size.

Seems like the bug has appeared somewhere at the 3.9.x version, as with the version 3.8.x everything was working fine. We noticed the problem afrer updates.

How to Reproduce

  1. Open RC app.
  2. Move the RC wintow to the outer edge/corner of the screen.
  3. Close RC app.
  4. Open RC app.

Describe your Expected behavior

As we use multiple screens setup with many different aplications windows opened at the same time it's very important for us to have RC in the exact same position every time it turns on. It's very annoying to be forced to adjust this window every day on startup.

Hi @preeesha, please let me know if we can expect any updates on this issue. RocketChat didn't change its behavior since we reported this problem.
