SketchUp Search (shift+s) Windows bug?

So I’m running into some issues that I assume are bugs but I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing them.

When using the search function in SketchUp (shift+s by default) the search window always opens up on the monitor assigned as the primary screen and not on the screen SketchUp is displayed on.

(As an excuse, this isn’t just about Sketchup. )

Thanks for your input @PaulMcAlenan and @dezmo. Good to hear that I’m not alone at least

This is a relatively small issue in the grand scheme of things. Hopefully, it can be put in the bugfix list on Trimble’s end.

The reason I even noticed that this happened was because one of my colleagues runs the software in Swedish and he is using a laptop with a bigger secondary monitor.
