I have a PC with multiple monitors..

However, looking at the issue, there is no minimal testcase.  There is also 
nothing saying it’s a bug in Scintilla, QScintilla or tortoisehg.  It could be 
any of the three.

Why is the assumption being made that its QScintilla?

Hi,



Can someone please take a look at this bug report which seems to affect your 
project?

Sorry, I don't have the equipment needed to reproduce the problem.

Hi Phil,



Which equipment are you missing? A video card with 2 ports? 2 monitors? Or a 
copy of Windows?



...and a PC.

Fortunately for you, that's not a problem :) Assuming you have a Mac laptop:

  1.  Plug in a second monitor (any will do) so your laptop sees multiple 
monitors.
  2.  Fire up a virtual machine of your choosing. I used VMWare Workstation, 
which is equivalent to VMWare Fusion on Mac. I believe VirtualBox (which is 
free) will work just as well.
  3.  Download and install the Windows 10 ISO which you can download for free 
from https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10
  4.  You can run Windows 10 without a license for a short period of time (30 
days I believe) so this isn't a problem.
  5.  Configure the VM with 2 virtual monitors and you should be able to 
reproduce the problem.
  6.  I just tried it in VMWare Workstation and it worked for me.

I haven't been able to get this working (yet) using a single physical monitor. 
See 
https://superuser.com/questions/1325393/how-to-use-multiple-virtual-monitors-if-host-has-a-single-monitor

But it's possible that VirtualBox is better in this regard than VMWare 
Workstation.
