------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Dec 18 20:21:46 -0800 2005 ------- My current configuration is a laptop with a low resolution (1024x768) with an extended desktop on a higher res monitor (1280x1024). The algorithm used to digure if a right-click menu should be opened 'up' instead of 'down', or 'left' instead of 'right' depending on the bounds of monitors used takes into account the largest of the monitors only. This means that if my mouse is at the bottom of the 1024x768 screen and I right-click, if the menu is 200 pixels high and there are only 50 pixels of vertical space below it will open 'down', and 150 pixels will be cut off from the screen. The reason appears to be that only the largest monitor's height is taken into account (opening 'up' works properly when on the largest screen). Since 768 + 150 < 1024 (1024 referring to the height of the largest monitor, not the width of the smallest, obviously), the menu is opened down. Additionally, right click menus may span two monitors if the mouse is clicked sufficiently far on the right, making menus hard to read. The native Windows UI and many non-native UIs like Firefox's (XUL) have mechanisms to prevent context menus from spanning two monitors. Note: this is not issue 42282. That one deals with dialog boxes when the second monitor is enabled but closed, which is a much less frequent configuration. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
