GUI Invisible on Startup Due to Out-of-Range Bounds in config.json
Describe the bug
When starting pgAdmin 4 on Windows 11, the application starts but the GUI is invisible. This occurs when the previous application state was saved with a different display setup. The bounds in %APPDATA%/pgadmin4/config.json were out of range for the current display configuration.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Set bounds in config.json to an out-of-range situation for your current display setup.
- Start pgAdmin 4.
- Observe that no user interface appears when starting pgAdmin 4.
Expected behavior
pgAdmin 4 should check if the set bounds exist with the current display setup. If they do, use them; otherwise, reset the bounds to [0,0] to ensure the GUI is visible.
Error message
There is no error message displayed.

The problem can be solved by resetting bounds to x=0, y=0. pgAdmin should implement a check to verify if the set bounds exist within the current display setup. If true, use the existing bounds; otherwise, reset the bounds to [0,0].
