To summarize the issues that Peke is referring to, users are reporting that context menus don't appear in their expected locations in multi-monitor environments, specifically when the multiple monitors are of different sizes. I've been able to replicate incorrectly positioned context menus as follows (with build 2260): 1 Set laptop to extend primary screen to a monitor (WIN-P > Extend). Settings are: 'Size of text, apps, and other items:' 150%, Primary: 1920x1080, Secondary: 3440 x 1440 2 Launch MM5 in primary window 3 Right-click on the tracklist in the primary window --> Context menu appears adjacent to the cursor (i.e. correctly positioned) 4 Drag MM5 to the secondary window 5 Right-click on the left side of the tracklist in the secondary window --> Context menu appears too far to the right with black artifacts surrounding it (see attached image below)!! 6 Right-click on the right side of the tracklist in the secondary window --> Context menu appears too far to the left without the black artifacts (see attached image below)!! 7 Right-click on the left side of the player --> Context menu appears on the Primary screen instead of the secondary screen (see attached image)!! Note: - The positioning issues / artifacts reported above do not occur with other apps' context menus (though I did notice one app opening the 'Save as...' dialog in the wrong monitor). |

I've added step 7 (to my comment above) as I'm able to replicate the problem of getting the context menu to appear on the Primary screen even though MM5 is running in the secondary screen, by following the steps that drakinite described at: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=96329&start=30#p469751 |

Tested 2263 and now, the context menu displays correctly on the Primary screen, but on the secondary screen, it displays 396 pixels to the left of the cursor! Moreover, if the user right clicks less than 396 pixels to the left, the menu appears on the primary screen (instead of on the secondary screen)! |

In 2411 a variant of the original bug occurs: 1 Set laptop to extend primary screen to a monitor (WIN-P > Extend). Settings are: 'Size of text, apps, and other items:' 150%, Primary: 1920x1080, Secondary: 3440 x 1440 2 Launch MM5 in primary (OR secondary) window 3 Right-click on the tracklist in the primary window --> Context menu appears adjacent to the cursor (i.e. correctly positioned) 4 Drag MM5 to the secondary (or primary) window 5 Right-click on a track in the secondary window (e.g. in Playing) --> Context menu appears appears in the correct location, but a second orange outline appears at the upper left portion of the window and displays content that should be appearing in the main panel within this window instead!! This is really hard to understand, so watch the video. 6 Click on the menu --> The 'weird window' disappears. This 'weird window' is similar to the problem described in 0017935--perhaps they have the same root cause? Video: https://www.screencast.com/t/TmadT2Z5 |

This seems to be working well in 2413, but will need to reverify after 0018007 is fixed. |

Verified that the issue re. the 'weird window' has been fixed in 2414, however, there's another problem; Switching (not moving) to secondary screen --> menus and window buttons display incorrectly: 1 Set laptop to extend primary screen to a monitor (WIN-P > Extend). Settings are: 'Size of text, apps, and other items:' 150%, Primary: 1920x1080, Secondary: 2560 x 1080 2 Run MM on on the laptop (primary monitor) 3 Close the laptop --> MM appears on the secondary screen but a) Menus display incorrectly with a black box around them b) Minimize / Maximize / Close buttons don't work (the 'hot spots' aren't positioned) Note that these issues are resolved if MM is restarted, however, many users won't know how to close MM given issue b). Note also that this is not a regression--MM 5.0.0.2388 exhibits the same problem. We can push to 5.0.2 if it's high risk. |

Partial fix has been implemented in 2415 Testing on a pre-2415 test build shows: a) The menu problem persists. b) The Window controls issue is partially fixed: - The minimize/maximize/close buttons initially fails but starts working upon clicking an entry in the tree Maximizing the window and then restore to the previous size --> the buttons stop working again UNTIL clicking an entry in the tree Recommend pushing to 5.0.2 since a) rarely occurs and is cosmetic and b) though serious, rarely occurs and can be worked around after a couple of clicks. |

Please retest in latest build as i've made some improvements in multi-monitor |
