I'm not doing anything particular to place the window, just asking Qt to show a floating window. So this seems to be a Windows-specific Qt bug (works on my Mac). As such, I would have to work up a non-ChimeraX test case and file a Qt bug, yada yada yada. Given the amount of work vs. the rarity of actually encountering the problem, this probably won't happen.
