 Default position for popup windows seems to be monitor 1. It needs to default to the center of the parent window. In some cases the default seems to be on the split between monitor 1 and monitor 2.

Is there a setting I'm overlooking to remedy this?

 Hello Mike.

Could you describe the problem more detailed?

What is the problem? Are you unable to manage the popup windows with our program, are there some difficulties with our program? Or do you just describe the usual behavior of some popup window?

Best regards.

 When I have an application showing on monitor 2, all the errors, warnings, and other pop-up messages jump to monitor 1. The expected behavior is for those pop-ups to show on the same monitor as the application which in this case is monitor 2. The preferred behavior would be for the "cancel" button of the pop-up to be placed under the cursor.

 Hello Mike.

What product are you running?

Please do the following:
- Launch our program
- In the notification area (system tray) context menu for our program (right click on the our program icon) select “Logging” and then “Enable logging”
- In the same context menu select Logging > Show Log Window. It opens the Log window, where our program displays the windows which it tracks, Settings that are applied to these windows etc.
- If the window contains some entries, then right-click the working area and select the “Clear Log” item.
- When the log window is clear, get the pop-up window appeared and check whether the new entries appear in the log window and what setting are applied to it. Also you can make a screenshot of the log window and send us.


Best regards

 The program is Actual Windows Manager latest version.

I have the screenshot but I'm having difficulty uploading. I'm not sure it's going to show.

 The image does show after all but I see that I should've expanded the window before I took the screenshot.

With SolidWorks running on monitor #2, I click File > Open and the pop-up window shows on screen #2 just for an instant and then moves to monitor #1. This is the behavior I see for all pop-up windows for all software.

The expected behavior is for pop-ups to show on the same monitor as the application, which in this case is monitor #2. The preferred behavior would be for the "cancel" button of the pop-up to be placed under the cursor wherever the cursor might be.

 Hello Mike.

Please check the option "Move at startup to monitor" of the Default settings (Window settings > Default settings > Startup). Try to disable or change it.

Best regards.
