When opening File Search (double ctrl → double ctrl), the window is not user-friendly placed on the second monitor. Probably it has to do with different resolutions or the use of scale.

\*nice to have, spamming ctrl opens a lot of file search windows 1 is enough XD

### Steps to Reproduce

On main screen open File Search (double ctrl → double ctrl).  
Place the windows somewhere in the middle see the first screenshot  
Go to the second monitor and open File Search again see the second screenshot

### Expected Result

The window will be at the center or at least placed so it fits on the monitor

### Actual Result

The window will be placed in a non-expected place.

### Windows Version

Windows 11 Pro 23H2 22631.4317

### Listary Version

V6.3.0.78

### Additional Information

Main screen (3840x2400 scale 250%)-\>
