System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: GTX 1080
3 monitors wide setup with monitor 2(middle) is the main display.
Blender Version
2.91
Broken: Unknown

Short description of error
Pop up windows open only on the main monitor in a multiple monitor setup. It doesn't take into account what monitor the main UI is being used on or where the popup window was last closed unless it was closed on the main monitor.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Using Blender with the main UI on monitor 3.
Select 'save as' File View opens on monitor 2.
Drag File View to monitor 3 and close it.
Select 'save as' again, File View opens on monitor 2.

Using Blender with the main UI on monitor 1.
Select 'save as' File View opens on monitor 2.
Drag File View to monitor 1 and close it.
Select 'save as' again, File View opens on monitor 2.

Same with Drivers Editor, Render window, all are limited to popup on the main monitor and do not reopen at its last closed location. It is very limiting for those who use a multi monitor setup workflow.
