#3505: Reposition windows on resolution change if they lie completely outside of

Comment (by axeld):
Unless the window was on screen before the switch, the app_server cannot
deliberately move it there afterwards. The original ticket was about saved
window positions, and it's not within the app_server's abilities to change
that -- it cannot know whether or not the application created the window
off screen on purpose. There are even good reasons to do so in Haiku (like
having an application that should get all keyboard or mouse events).
IOW the original problem should simply be solved in Tracker. In addition
to that, the app_server could move windows around on resolution changes;
but this might be a bit annoying, too, if you have games and apps like
LaunchBox (or the Deskbar) in the right edge, so it should only do so for
permanent changes.
