SU Pro 2016 - Hang on create material

Total hang - no "not responding" but nothing works. No CPU use, memory use normal, but the only way to do anything to that instance to end task it. Can alt-tab to it and select it from the bar normally, but nothing in the instance works. Cursor is still an arrow, but clicking/dragging/mousewheel anywhere in the main SU window or open trays, including close boxes, does nothing.

It's almost like there's a modal dialog hidden somewhere, except that the main SU window is showing active, and of course I can't minimize any part of that SU instance, nor does any extra window show up with alt-tab. Other instances act perfectly normal as long as I don't try to create a new material.

Can reproduce with a dead empty model in a new instance, so it's not just a model issue.

Win 10 Home, 8G RAM, SU 16.0.19912 64 bit.

OK, found the problem; apparently the create material dialog was coming up way off screen. Still calling it a bug, since the trays migrate back to the main screen any time I turn my second monitor off, so why wouldn't a dialog do the same?
