Description jolyon 2002-11-20 13:28:44 UTC 
When running application using GTK+1.3.0 (ethereal) on Windows 2000 with 
dual monitors, menus are not displayed correctly on secondary monitor if 
such monitor is to the LEFT of the primary display (ie, the X coordinates 
for the screen are NEGATIVE).

When a menu is activated, the component that 'pops up' is drawn on the 
wrong monitor.

When the application is run on the primary monitor all menus are displayed 
correctly.

Coincidentally, Internet Explorer 5.0 suffered from a very similar 
problem, but that was fixed in 5.5
Comment 1 Tor Lillqvist 2002-11-21 01:05:08 UTC 
Unless the fix is trivial, this won't be fixed in GTK+ 1.3.0. 

(I guess that the fix might well be trivial. Simple patches 
welcome...)

Most work on GTK+ is nowadays done on 2.0 (and 2.2). Especially in 
2.2, where GTK+ itself is multi-screen aware (on X11), it is possible 
that multiple monitors in Windows could be visible as multiple screen 
in GTK+. But all this depends on I or somebody else having time to do 
it. Plus I would have to get a second monitor (and find room on the 
desk) to be able to test this...
Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2003-06-10 09:57:34 UTC 
Move remaining bugs off 2.2.2 target milestone.
Comment 3 Tor Lillqvist 2003-08-03 21:36:29 UTC 
This won't be fixed in the gtk-1-3-win32-production branch. There 
isn't any code in its widgets to handle multiple monitors anyway. 
Multiple monitor support for GTK+ 2.2.x and 2.4 is being implemented.
