[FAQ] Multi monitor behaviour on macOS when a monitor is removed

Question

Platform: io.Connect Desktop running on macOS.
If the user starts with a layout that has windows across 2 or more monitors and then removes a monitor, what will happen to the layout (i.e., the application windows that appeared on the removed monitor)?

Answer

Our Approach: We deliberately allow the operating system to manage window positioning during monitor changes rather than implementing custom logic. This ensures compatibility with system-level accessibility features and maintains consistent behavior with other applications on the platform.
