steve G reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

window placement not working

Type             : Bug
Priority         : High
Gambas version   : 3.16
Product          : Unknown


Description
-----------

the following command have no effect.

me.top=5
me.left=5

this is in the form open event. 

On a multiple monitor system running fedora 35 gnome 40. x or wayland react the same.

this has been in the mail list. was told to put up a report here. 

the main project affected places windows on various monitors so that information is given to the right place in real time. in version 3.15 this worked and I could place the left so that the window was always on the correct monitor. version 3.16 nothing in my programming changes but now the window placement does not work at all. I have not been able to modify program to compensate for this. The me.move(5,5) does not work either.   

Please fix this.
