New Eden Store not respecting "offset interface with camera"?

I play EVE on 2 monitors, with a 3rd for a web browser/spreadsheet (go ahead and insert your favourite "massively multi-player spreadsheets joke" here). I've got my interface offset so that my ship's on the right hand of the 2 eve monitors. Everything in the game seems to treat this fine, and every window allows me to move it so I can easily put it on one monitor. It works really well.

Except the new Eden store. For some reason it doesn't respect this at all and just takes up the center of my screen. There's no way to more it, and unless I'm very much mistaken I can't put it into a window, it's fullscreen. This means there's a big line in the interface of the store that I can't get rid of, from the boundary of my 2 monitors.

Anyone got a workaround for this? If not - can you take this as a CCPlease, I don't access the New Eden store often, but it'd be nice if it respected the interface offset if/when I do. Seems like it's probably an easy fix too (unless the code is very spaghetti)

It was requested before when the NES was first implemented. No telling when, or rather if, it'll ever be done since it's not been done yet, even after all this time. Only workaround that I know is to stick to using an odd number of screens for Eve rather than an even one. There's a few other specific cases of the UI doing that, like the char select screens list of redeemables being centered regardless of the offset setting or the red damage alert effects that show up at the top of your display when any of your damage alarms start chirping.

I have two monitors myself and used to use both for Eve. While this isn't the reason I myself went back to one (GPU use jumps absurdly for me in windowed and borderless, only normal in fullscreen), I don't miss not being able to see and use the store without that hassle.
