Hi Marty
I’m just wondering if you are using the standard IDE ask and answer dialog or a
custom one? If you are working on a very old stack then MetaCard used to copy
the ask and answer dialog into the stackFile as a substack. You should be able
to see them in the project browser under your mai

I was probably the first person to mention it. I get around it by setting the

I do see one issue with the “effective” dictionary entry though. Normally you
are not able to set effective properties, but for stack rect properties it is
permitted.
topLeft and topRight also need a clarifying statement to indicate that multiple
monitors could cause the main screen topLeft to
It is part of the “rectangle” property. The individual pieces are not

Interesting! - it does appear to work, but that combination is not in the
dictionary under “topLeft” as far as I can see, and “topLeft” is missing from
the list of properties shown under the “effective” description.

You may want to use the “effective topLeft” though. Otherwise the title bar of
the window could be off screen.

I’m sure there are more efficient ways, but that is the idea. You just need to

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

i don't like how long a bug like this has been in the queue without being
fixed. I'm surprised it hasn't affected more people but i guess maybe
thats why its lower in the queue.
Sorry, but I don't know of any remedies for this.

Wow, that’s been around for a while. Anybody have a work-around seeing as how
this is unlikely to be fixed? Seems like setting the loc of a window to the
center of the screen would be an often used feature. I never noticed it because
I don’t have a multi-monitor setup.
