** Description changed:

  QA-test of Lubuntu 19.04 (x86_64) on
  "hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600)"
  
  and I'm getting lots of strange behavior on windows.. this for now will
  cover the first noticed.
  
- two monitors; 'main' is the top (how its connected), secondary is below
- and slightly left..
+ I have two monitors, both 1920x1080 in vertical arrangement (one above the 
other). I boot 'live' image, and then navigate to 
preferences->LXQt.settings->Monitor.settings then select 'Set position tab'. 
Here I move the display that for me starts as the default-right (called DP-1 on 
this box) so it's positioned below the originally-left-positioned monitor 
(DVI-I-1 its called on this box).
+ - monitor1 refers to the default-left monitor as the system boots, or what 
becomes my 'top'
+ - monitor2 refers to the default-right monitor I've moved to lower position 
early in description
+ two monitors; 'main' is the top (how its connected), secondary is below and 
slightly left..
  
- for me monitor2 is easy to read, so pcmanfm-qt was somewhere near middle
- of monitor2, I was exploring my hdd & opened a partition -- WINDOW MOVES
- 
- the pcmanfm-qt window jumped, and now top of it is on monitor1 (top) and
- most on monitor2.
+ With pcmanfm-qt somewhere near middle of monitor2, I was exploring my
+ hdd & opened a partition and the window moves. The pcmanfm-qt window
+ jumped, and now top of it [window] is on monitor1 (top) and most on
+ monitor2.
  
  I drag it back to all on monitor2 and pick another partition - it MOVEs
  again
  
  (this was repeated, each time I moved it to anywhere fully on monitor2
  it warped to top being on monitor1, and most of monitor2 if I selected a
  suse partition (data or system).  IF however i had the window fully on
  monitor1 (my top) it would stay put & wouldn't move.  I would get the
  strange behavior on switch to EITHER SUSE partition.  It would sometimes
  move if I selected a fedora partition (sys or data), but ALWAYS did it
  for SUSE (if windows was fully on monitor2)

  I already had terminal open, so switched  started `ubuntu-bug pcmanfm-
  qt` which has led to this report... I hadn't taken photos so I took some
  (which will be added).  ubuntu-bug opened firefox & firefox window opens
  strangely on monitor2 (another pic; i may add to this, or another bug,
  another pic),  then to get specs of machine ctrl-alt-T & term-opens
  mostly-off-screen (monitor1).  all I suspect are related due I think to
  my monitor setup/positioning, but I'll deal with pcmanfm-qt first
  
  I'll file the other strange window behavior in another bug, as I'm
  getting strange behavior (described above) in pcmanfm-qt on choosing
  partitions that sometimes causes the jump, sometimes no (eg. not always
  does it jump when I select a fedora partition? but suse partition
  appears to always cause jump).

  note:  as stated elsewhere, if that is fixed, this bug report becomes moot as 
it'd not be noticed (ie. inconsistent behavior in pcmanfm-qt on switching 
devices (partitions) - so what if it redraws; I only noticed due to screen 
position changes!)

  additional info:
  
  in (comment) #12 on a later QA-test I noticed Qterminal exhibit the same
  behavior.  More significantly I got so annoyed with pcmanfm-qt that I
  `sudo apt install dolphin` & started using `dolphin`.
  
  Dolphin running on the Lubuntu 19.04 daily 'live' ISO exhibits the same
  behavior - so my classification of this as a pcmanfm-qt issue has to be
  incorrect!
+ 
+ In original qa-test I positioned the default-right/my-bottom monitor2
+ slightly left & below of monitor1.  In later tests I put it directly
+ below & I got the same results. I can only occur this problem when
+ positioned vertically like I've described.
