A MacBook, a dock and different monitors at home and at the office

If you move a MacBook between a dock at home, a different monitor at the office and no monitors at all, macOS drops your windows on the laptop screen every time you undock and never puts them back. I wrote down what macOS remembers per set of monitors and what it does not, the fixes that work without an app and what each one leaves unsolved. It also explains why two identical monitors behind one dock are the hardest case, and a Terminal command to check what your dock hides.



If you work this way, I would like to hear about your setup: which dock, which monitors, and what still goes wrong.
