Description
Description of the Issue
The Find dialog saves it's last position, thus being sometimes far away from the main Notepad++ application. Especially in multi-monitor environments. I often have to move Notepad++ to different monitors for various reasons (i. e. other workspace or a RDP connection related to my work in Notepad++ is on the screen I used Notepad++ beforehand). The Find dialog then may be opened on the "wrong" screen.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
In a three-monitor setup, where the monitors rest aside

- Move Notepad++ to monitor 3 (leftmost)
- Open the Find dialog -> will be also placed on monitor 3
- Close the Find dialog
- Move Notepad++ to monitor 1 (rightmost)
- Open the Find dialog -> will still be placed on monitor 3, leaving you wondering if it has even opened
Expected Behavior
The find dialog should always be placed on the same screen as Notepad++.
Actual Behavior
The find dialog stores it's absolute position making it sometimes detach from Notepad++.
