I had a very similar thought.
That said... I have never seen or heard anything like it.
I think the smart move would be to ignore the speed racer window and instead, troubleshoot the actual installation.
There was a different trading platform introduced here once. Installation was successful though.
I'm retired, if I didn't have something constructive (income producing), I would just sit here and vibrate or I'd slit my wrists before long. The old idea of sitting in a rocking chair sipping on iced tea is more of a nightmare than ideal to me.

Hee Hee..My wife has a list that keeps me busy! But I go back to the studio and my music keeps me busy still (plus I cheat by surfing back here all night)

Hum.
I think I found a reason for my husband does not do much on that To-Do-List I made for him.
He must be surfing on the MXLinux forum

I found a way to catch it believe it or not. Highlight it and click Alt F7 and I can relocate it to wherever I want. The problem is that the Alt F7 trick doesn't always seem to grab it, kind of hit or miss. But I have at least managed to login once or twice. This is a weird one. I'm going to load a screen capture software in a few days and I'll record what happens, maybe someone can enlighten me.
It does login when you use your Wile E Coyote skills?

Actually industrial machinery, pumps, compressors, generators etc. But understanding the control systems is what made it profitable, automotive is too hard to make money with. I was pretty good with the old electro-mechanical control systems back in the late 70's, when they started putting circuit boards in them it was learn or starve.
I came up with my moniker when working on my rock crawler and surfing the how to sites like pirate4x4 and such.

Yeah, LoL, come to think about it. But now you have me worried about getting crushed by a boulder or something.
So it is installed and it works... But the window Runs Away.
How Strange...
Please install gnome tweak tool
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
Move to the extension tab and disable ALL extensions. Log out, then in... Then try out the trader application.

Uh oh, you're making me feel old. I had a big poster as a kid that had the coyote holding the Road Runner by the throat and saying something like "Beep beep you're @$$". I used to ride a dinosaur for a service truck.

Well I'm old as dirt myself... grew up in the 60s raise cane in the 70s traveling across the world making music
Well, I kind of did the same kind of thing traveling around the world, but our music was a little louder, or maybe I should say of a larger caliber.

I have a lot of respect for your JAMMING during that time.

That sure stopped it from running away, then I could move it to the center and it would stay until I turned the extensions back on and it would fly up into the left corner of one monitor but I could still see it. Before, that's where it looked like it was going so I'm sure it is one of those extensions. Thanks for the tip, I'll start looking for the culprit.
YEP...
There's your problem. A gnome-extension is the Failure point...
Let's try testing having just the Auto-Move-Windows extension disabled.
If no good, try native-window-placement extension

Both were already disabled.

Back to this problem. I now have two programs that open but they open minimized and when I try to select them, they fly off screen up and to the left, across a second screen and disappear. Everytime you click it, off she goes. The programs are System Monitor (that came with Z16) and Thinkorswim trading platform that I installed. I tried disabling all gnome extensions per Aravisian and that stopped it but also completely screwed up the entire desktop. The Auto-Move-Windows extension was not enabled anyway. When gnome extensions are disabled, I click on the little window button on the left of the top bar and it shows me open programs, I can choose the either of the offenders and move it to the screen to the left, when I click on the window button on the top bar they immediately shoot up to the left on the big monitor but at least they stay visible. I can then move them around. If I re-enable gnome extensions they now behave normally. Other than the two programs playing Road Runner and Coyote, I have no clue, this is way out of my Linux paygrade.
