Tom the issue here is that it is arguable that this is a bug. We have lots of things to work on which we are sure about ;-)
To clarify what I mean. Which set of results is more correct? Main screen rect: 0,280,1280,1080 2nd screen rect: 1280,0,3200,1080 Main screen rect: 0,0,1280,800 2nd screen rect: 1280,-280,3200,800 I think it would be convenient to have a screenLocs variant of screenLoc so you can: set the loc of this stack to line (the screen of this stack) of the screenLocs But that’s another issue as it’s not complicated to write a function using the screenRects Cheers Monte > On 11 Jan 2019, at 9:29 am, Tom Glod via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > i don't like how long a bug like this has been in the queue without being > fixed.
