Problem description

Hi, I’m using the latest Easydict version 2.18.0 on macOS Tahoe.

There seems to be an issue with multi-monitor support.
The app window always goes back to the main display and cannot stay fixed at a specific position on another monitor.

Expected behavior:
The window should remain on the monitor where I place it, and keep its position there.

Actual behavior:
It keeps returning to the main display instead of staying on the secondary display.

Thanks.

Is the issue consistently reproducible?

Reproducible
