The first time that happened to me I freaked out thinking the window was falling out of its hinges.

I still am freaking out every time it happens. What happens if you actually don't scream and fight for your life by pressing against it and putting it back into a closed position immediately? What happens if you just let it happen and let go?

It holds on the one corner until you push it back in.

Source: did this way too often as a kid with our balcony door, accidentally and on purpose

If you let it fall into this position from the original window position, like if you unlock it and wait for a wind gust, it may break the one remaining hinge off and fall flat. Not the best thing to experience, and replacing the window is not either

Oh yeah I should have said, it's certainly not something you should do a lot or keep it like that haha. They're definitely not designed to be in that position.
