The same issue with Note input toolbar
------------------------------ the initital report-----------------
Setup two monitors, Windows 10 extended display. Start a new score. View > Playback controls, to undock it. It appears on the other screen. Drag it back over the Musescore window. Hide it again. View it again, it's back on the other screen.
Request: make the Playback controls window a child of the main Musescore window so it always starts over it. OS: Windows 10 Version 2009 or later, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore Studio version (64-bit): 4.5.1-250800846, revision: github-musescore-musescore-603eca8

I am getting other odd app UI behaviour when toggling View > Playback toolbar (actually logged in this old issue), so there might be multiple issues around this one.
Assigning @DmitryArefiev to investigate.
I found the way to reproduce the initial bug:
- You need to undock Playback controls panel
- Move it to the second monitor
- And close MSS

I think the problem here because Playback panel doesn't save the previous position in udocked state when you Show/Hide the panel from View>Toolbars:

This is not a regression
