When I use `selectInput()` the window always appears behind the screen. Is there any way to fix this, I’ve seen that this has been flagged before on the github and supposedly was fixed but I still have the problem. Is there an option that I need to add to the method or something, as I have had it work in the past.

Thanks

It’s annoying and happens in Win 10
