Windows keep moving from one monitor to another
I have three fairly new 24" 1920 x 1080 monitors (I say fairly new because I got them back in November then went out of town for seven weeks shortly after setting them up). I have the left hand monitor set as my primary and it is connected to the HDMI outlet on my GPU card (MSI R7850 Twin Frozr) through a powered HDMI splitter that also connects to my TV (both the left hand monitor and the TV are cloned). The center monitor is connected to the adjacent Mini-DisplayPort through a passive Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter. The right hand monitor is connected to the other Mini-DisplayPort through an active Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
The setup works well except for one extremely annoying problem (the polite term; Mama told me not to use the more accurate terms). Frequently, when I shut off the monitors but leave the TV on, if I click on a program icon on the task bar, it often opens or, if already open but minimized, maximizes the window off the TV screen, I have to turn the monitors back on and drag the windows back to the left hand monitor so I can see them on the TV. Is there any way I can get the stupid, wandering windows to stay where I put them before turning off the monitors?
