I was about to write a bug report that I encountered with a maximized
mintty on a 125% secondary screen. When I minimized it to the taskbar
it would restore to my primary screen. But that problem is fixed now,
so for me 2.5.0 solves that problem even before reporting it. The
draft mail is thrown away ;-)

Thanks for the fix!
