I don't know if this issue is still open but i'm experiencing this problem too, only it's not even the primary monitor where the application opens but on my monitor that is #2 of 3 monitors. This only recently happened. I uploaded a log file also https://obsproject.com/logs/ULnb6T34LsmVitza

There is more than one issue described in the original post here.

  1. OBS now always open in the primary monitor. no matter if it was moved and then closed properly.
  2. many drop menu do appear floating in the primary monitor if the obs window was moved away from it.

The second issue should be fixed as of OBS Studio 28. The first issue I'm not sure about, but this is a good hint:

krita software has this same behavior. it may be some GUI common issue

Krita also uses Qt, the GUI framework that OBS Studio uses. It would be helpful to know the exact last version of OBS Studio that did not have this behavior (e.g., 25.0.8, 26.0-rc1, 26.0-rc2, 26.0.0, or some other version).
