I use a secondary monitor when at the office and I often will have applications open on the second display.

The bug happens when I open the Git GUI application without having the second monitor connected. The dialog window that asks for selection is displayed properly but the main window is lost on another display.

You can still get around to the window by using windows keyboard shortcuts but it isn't ideal.

This may not be a bug specifically for Git GUI, it may better be
reported to WISH
 or even Microsoft.

Windows 7 git-gui version 0.20.GITGUI git version 2.6.3.windows.1 Tcl/Tk version 8.6.4
