Monitor 1 is a 4K built-in monitor on my laptop. Monitors 2 and 3 are external FHD. See #6085 for configuration details.
Terminal/shell
Git for Windows' bash
Commands that trigger the issue
`mintty -p @2` or `mintty -p @3`Expected behaviour
Terminal opens on the correct window.
Actual behaviour
Terminal opens on the wrong window.
Here's a full all-monitors screenshot with the "Identify" labels up (Dsiplay Settings -> Identify).
Opening to Monitor 1 works as expected.
Opening to Monitor 2 with mintty -p @2 opens on the Identify-ied Monitor 3.
Opening to Monitor 3 with mintty -p @3 opens on the Identify-ied Monitor 2.
So the bad behaviour is that then "opened onto" monitor is not always the expected monitor.
