OnlyOffice gets stuck if it was last used on a second monitor (lemmy.ca)

I'm not sure if there's a setting to toggle, or an easier way to fix this. What happens is:

While using a second monitor with a laptop, I was using OnlyOffice on the extended display
I closed OnlyOffice
Later while using the laptop only, I try opening OnlyOffice. The icon appears and there's a little animation of it opening offscreen to the side, but nothing happens

What I tried:

I tried using alt-tab to select that window, and then use keyboard shortcuts to bring it back to the main screen.
I also tried to preview what was displayed, but it was a white screen only.
Force killing the program didn't help

If someone else runs into the issue:

wait until I was back home with the second monitor, opening OnlyOffice, and dragging the display back to the laptop screen.

I now remember to leave it on the laptop screen when closing.

version 7.5.1.23 (x64 exe), Windows 11 :(

Hover over the window in the task bar and right click on the preview. This should show the restore/minimize/maximize dialog. Click restore if it's an option then do the same and click move. You should be able to then use the arrow keys and "attach" the window to your mouse and move it to the visible area.

Edit: the other way to get this menu depends on the application but if you select the window and hit ALT and then space it should show the restore/minimize/maximize options.
