I suppose I could have added this to my post below, however it appears to be a separate issue.

When opening context menus of a window on a non-primary monitor, they open up "floating" in the equivalent position on the primary monitor, making it impossible to access them. When I drag my mouse from the File menu, for example, it's contents appear on the primary monitor. When I move the mouse over to access them, the menu disappears (as usually does when moving the mouse off the menu).

The only rememdy I can do is to drag the window or folder to the primary monitor and then access the menu from there.

I think I found the source of the problem -- when the window startup option is set to "of parent window", it opens the context menu on the primary monitor. This happens even if the program's primary window is on a 2nd or 3rd monitor (and no other window on the primary monitor).

Perhaps the program is telling windows an incorrect value of the monitor it's located on?

Anyway, for now I just switch the startup option to "having mouse pointer", even though that still causes the distracting subwindow flashes before they land on the correct monitor.

Hello Steve,

Thanks for the post.

Could you send me your configuration files (Actual Window Manager -> Send Configuration -> Send to the Tech Support)?

Best regards.
