When moving Vensim to different screens, tables will no longer appear when opened, forcing a restart

We've noticed that when using multiple screens, if Vensim is moved between screens eventually we will be unable to open a Table and will have to restart Vensim. This is in 8.x builds.

I'm puzzled by this. Can you give a little more detail please?

Some colleagues and I are running Vensim off of laptops with two monitors plugged in with the laptop screen closed, so using two external monitors in extended desktop mode (Windows 10)

We'll often move Vensim from one screen to another depending on what other programs we're using.

We've noticed that on occasion, after Vensim has been moved between screens, clicking on "Table" will not result in a Table being opened.

It's possible that the movement between screens is coincidental with just observing the "Table" feature failing to work correctly, but my colleague I and I have both observed this behavior on separate machines.

Is the laptop screen still active? If yes, could the table be appearing there?
