My app as well as even the IDE does not handle menus (or any popup) correctly when the app is on the second monitor. Here is a poor ASCII drawing illustrating the problem:

         | [=== My App ==============]
[ Open ] | [File . Edit . Help       ]
[ Close] | [-------------------------]
[ Exit ] | [ App Area                ]
         | [-- Status Bar -----------]


In that example, | is the monitor divide. When I click on the "File" menu when the app is on the right monitor, the menu appears on the far right of the left monitor. It will not appear on the right monitor. This happens with menus as well as DropList's as well as dialogs that may appear.

I am on 2008.1 and Windows Vista.

I think this was fixed a couple of months ago, please try current version.

I'm a bit confused, I thought 2008.1 was the current version? Which file are you suggesting I download?

upp-win32-1254.exe ?

Thanks,

Jeremy

I am sorry about confusion, our infrastructure is still a bit lacking.

"officially", current version is 1254. It is way better than 2008.1 (more stable, more features..)

Mirek,

The web page Status and Roadmap is what made me think 2008.1 was the current stable version. I knew I saw it somewhere but just now stumbled across it again.

Maybe that page should be updated?

The Status & Roadmap page now looks good, however, the latest version is listed as 1154, it should be 1254, no?

IIRC the upp site is synced at midnight, so you have to wait for this update.
