qBittorrent version and Operating System

qBittorrent v4.1.0alpha + Ubuntu Mate 16.04 LTS

If on linux, libtorrent and Qt version

python-libtorrent 1.1.6
Qt: 4.8.7
Desktop environment: MATE Desktop Environment 1.12.1

What is the problem

Some dialogs are not shown where they should be, rather they are on another screen or have a random offset, or are not visible at all. This happens intermittedly, but is guaranteed to happen when I disconnect/reconnect my external monitor

It has happened with:

the Download Priority dropdown popout:Torrent Content → Download Priority → Right Click → priority
Torrent → Right Click → Category dropdown (often not shown at all)
File, Edit, View, Tools, Help menus (usually blank)
Torrent → torrent delete dialog (often not shown at all)

What is the expected behavior

dialogs shown correctly

Steps to reproduce

Connect a HiDPI monitor, run the below command to iniate scaling (you might need to adjust your resolutions). Use Qbitorrent, shutdown it, run it, reposition it all the while disconnecting/reconnecting the monitor. at some point it should start acting up

the scaling command I iniate when attaching this external monitor:

xrandr \
--verbose \
--output VIRTUAL1 \
	--off \
--output DP2 \
	--off \
--output DP1 \
	--off \
--output HDMI2 \
	--off \
--output HDMI1 \
	--mode 1920x1080 \
	--scale 1.5x1.5 \
	--pos 0x324 \
	--rotate normal \
--output eDP1 \
	--mode 2880x1620 \
	--pos 2880x324 \
	--rotate normal \
	--primary \
--output VGA1 \
	--off

Notes:

resizing elements inside qbittorrent seems to fix this

not linked to:
#8126 (using qt5)

not suffering from these qt4 related bugs for some reason too:
#7879
#7766
#7746
#5027
#3617

This was fixed some time ago but i don't know if it was before or after this issue.
