[Paraview] dialog windows bug on Paraview 5.3 when changing monitor configuration

[Ben Orr]

Paraview Developers,

I have found a bug with Paraview 5.3 on Windows 7 (did not test to see if
it also exists on other versions/OS's). I recently changed computers, so I
moved my old computer to a spare desk. My old computer used to have two
monitors, but now it only has one. The last time I used Paraview, back when
it had two monitors, the file-open dialog was on the second monitor. Now
that the computer only has one monitor, it still places the file-open
dialog on the "second," nonexistent monitor. I fixed this by simply
plugging in a second monitor, moving the file-open window back to the
primary monitor, then re-removed the second monitor. This is true for all
dialog windows such as the python terminal and trace. I do not know if this
is a Paraview or general Qt issue.

It's not very often that someone gets rid of monitors, so it's probably low
priority, but it was certainly one of the most confusing issues I've ever
resolved, so I thought it was worth mentioning to the community.

Thank you,

Ben Orr
