broken retractable opening control device

Hi there.

The window on the picture has a stop/device that prevents it from being opened more than a few inches. When the window was new, the stop was retractable. It cannot be locked into the sash anymore.

Anyone knows if this is repairable?

Is there any significance to opening the lower sash that amount?

It is a safety feature so you can open the window for fresh air but it can't be opened enough for a child to crawl out. If your keep flopping out you can hold them closed with some tape, completely break them off or replace the child safety latch with new ones.
