But I agree, the Friend list & chat windows (every overlay window, really) should remember their position on the overlay.
I remember that the same issue existed with "Recordings & Screenshots", until I made a bugreport on here and Valve fixed it some time ago.
You can find the setting in the properties (it's per game):
Right-click > Properties > Privacy > In-Game Overlay Data > Delete
The per-game overlay data mentioned above only saves which windows and browser tabs are open.
The last used position of the overlay windows is saved globally and always persists across games.
No clue where exactly that data is stored though.
I don't get it. Something is amiss there.
Deleting the browser cache also resets the overlay widgets to their default position.
Then you can arrange them again and see if the issue happens again.
Clear the browser cache of the Steam Client:
Settings > In Game > Delete Web Browser Data
EDIT: Don't forget to restart Steam afterwards.
Let me know how it goes.
