I had never nailed down this combination, but it's certainly consistent
with what I see.

When I'm using two monitors (most of the time), the code screen is almost
always on the external.  I have code in openStack that opens the scripts of
my main code sections.  However, if the main stack script won't compile, I
have to manually move it--and there frequency of this is similar to the
displacement bug.  Next time it bites, I'll try moving the window back to
the main screen.

As I have to restart livened three to four times in a typical hour (the
shadow declaration bug), the displacement bug bites a couple of times in a
typical full day of coding.
