PI Dialogs keep moving on me!

[Lord Beowulf]

I'm having some user interface issues that I would consider "bugs" so I figured I'd post here in the hopes of seeing them resolved.  While in general window management in the user interface is a challenge, and there may be better solutions, I've attempted to develop a system of rolling up and aligning all the dialogs I use regularly down the right hand side of the workspace.  This generally works well except for the occasions where a dialog may be taller than the place where I tiled the title bar so that it goes off the screen at the bottom, but I can live with that.  The problem/bug that I'm reporting is that when I walk away from my PC and Windows 10 goes to power save on the monitor, apparently while in that state something thinks the screen resolution is lower than the 1080P I'm running.  Most applications don't have a problem with that, but when I come back to PI I discover that it's moved all of my dialogs over to the left, apparently to keep them on whatever the smaller screen size that it thought I'd switched to.  Thus, my workspace is completely hosed and the first thing I have to do is drag all of that junk out of my way again!  Very frustrating!  There has to be a way to address that and keep things where I put them.

On a related note, there's also a bug with the button bar at the top where, when it has a rolled up row that has to open (e.g. the mask toolbar in my case), the opened row is apparently behind all of the dialogs on the screen.  Thus if one of the processing tool bars (rolled up or not) is near the top, I can't press the toolbar button but instead highlight the dialog bar.  That's a pretty obvious bug that needs to be fixed.

Surely I'm not the only one encountering this problem.  It's getting more and more aggravating with no obvious work-around.  I attempted moving all my dialogs/icons to the left side of the screen and work on my images on the right side (something PI doesn't want to do natively) but that just prevents me from being able to use any of the flyouts on the left hand side, all of which come out UNDER the processing dialogs, whether they're open or in icon form.  I'm assuming that at least that problem (shared with the toolbars along the top as mentioned) is a design flaw and nothing to do with my installation.

As far as the bigger problem of everything being moved/changed after coming back from the screen going to sleep, I'm assuming that is a Windows interaction that is causing PI to think the resolution has changed and re-arrange the dialogs while the display is off.  I'm still not sure why that's the case, but it would really be nice to have a way to lock the dialogs/icons into place where I want them to stay.  I want the processes I use most right there on my screen, not having to dig through menus, etc. to open them each time.

Not sure if anyone at Pleiades is actually watching this thread, but in case they are, I have another data point.  I have a dual monitor setup with the second output being routed through my stereo to my 4K TV.  If the TV/Stereo are off, then when I wake up my PC on the main monitor, the dialogs stayed put.  However, if the entertainment system is on, even though the PC isn't going to the TV (stereo switched to a different input) then when I wake the monitor up after it goes to sleep, my dialogs have moved.  Thus, it appears that the second monitor output is having an impact, even though it's not doing anything.  Not sure if that's because something thinks the screen resolution has changed or what.

Thanks,
