Running 8.1.3 using dual monitors, couple of strange things happen when I move my main application window to the secondary monitor.

- Tool tips on buttons with bitmaps show up on the primary monitor up against the right edge of the screen, not next to the cursor on the secondary monitor where they should be. (Active X tooltips display properly).
- modal windows show up on the primary monitor up against the right edge of the screen, not in the center of the window that called/opened them.
- I'm sure there are other things I just haven't found yet...

It seems like some things know there is a secondary monitor there, but can't go beyond the primary monitor. Anyone have a quick fix for this? or should I be reporting this as a bug to Acu?

    Yes, please submit this to Supportline. I believe this has been reported before, but to ensure it gets sent on to Development it would be good to have it reported again. If you can provide a reproducing case that's even better.

    As far as I know, there's no easy workaround.
