Original window geometry is not restored after showAt() #3384
Description
On Windows, when I first run CopyQ, if I click the icon in the system tray, the main window opens in the bottom right corner above the system tray, as expected. If I later use a hotkey to open the CopyQ window under the cursor somewhere, the next time I click the CopyQ icon in the system tray, the window opens in the last position it was in when I used the hotkey. Shouldn't it reset and open above the system tray icon that I clicked?
Thanks,
Rich

Hmm, strange, when clicking the tray icon, the menu should always open under mouse cursor.
CopyQ/src/gui/mainwindow.cpp
Line 2147 in 7ca0346
Maybe
QCursor::pos()does not always work on Windows. 🤔BTW, you can check if the cursor position gives valid/different values from Action dialog by running a command that opens notification with the cursor position:

Oh, sorry, it's about main window position, not the tray menu.
Yeah, there is a code to blocks saving window position if it is open under cursor, so it does not open again on the same position:
CopyQ/src/scriptable/scriptableproxy.cpp
Line 898 in 7ca0346
I guess the blocking code does not work well on Windows.

Fixed. The binaries with the fix for Windows should be available at AppVeyor (when it finally finishes - it's very slow currently): https://ci.appveyor.com/project/hluk/copyq/builds/53524499/artifacts
