    First; I use a dual monitor setup, where I create a special addon to move the UIParent frame and the WorldFrame. Many of my UI elements are on my second, otherwise blank, monitor, in this fashion.
    Because of the strangeness of this setup and rarity, I don't expect changes.

    What steps will reproduce the problem?
    1. Run the script provided below, which adjusts UIParent and WorldFrame.
    2. Attempt to move the Cartographer 3.0 window outside the UIParent
    3. Window pops back into the valid area.

    What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

    I'd love to be able to position the map outside of UIParent. I'd recommend keeping this an option only, to provide safety for other users.

    What version of the product are you using?

    Cartographer 3.0 Version v0.10.3 (via Curse Client, 10/29)

    Do you have an error log of what happened?

    No actual error.

    Please provide any additional information below.

    Script:
            UIParent:ClearAllPoints();
            UIParent:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",0,0);
            UIParent:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",-100,0);
               WorldFrame:ClearAllPoints();
        WorldFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",0,0);
        WorldFrame:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",-100,0);

    The values of -100 are not my source values, but if you ran my values you'd probably lose the entire UIParent frame and cause issues. My original script is:
            UIParent:ClearAllPoints();
            UIParent:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",0,0);
            UIParent:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",-1450,0);
               WorldFrame:ClearAllPoints();
        WorldFrame:SetPoint("TOPLEFT",0,0);
        WorldFrame:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT",-1024,0);
