Description Unknown 2003-09-27 06:10:36 UTC
Issue 19879 shows that menu systems used to display on wrong screen. That has 
indeed been fixed.

There are however several OO writer windows that still popup on the wrong 
screen. I assume the same goes for other OO applications. 

I went over all OO Writer menu options and listed these observed "misses" when 
working with OO Writer on the secondary screen ! Since I've gone over all at 
least 2 levels, I think I've listed almost all cases.
- Menu options Window>New or File>New>Text document. Opens window on primary 
screen, including a complete menu systems, buttons,.... Suggestion: The focus 
should remain on the screen the user is working on and new windows should open 
there.
- Menu File>Send>Document as e-mail: The subsequent "choose e-mail profile" 
popup appears on primary screen. Same suggestion as above.
- Menu Edit>Find and Replace: The subsequent "Find and Replace" dialog box 
appears on primary screen. Same suggestion as above.
- Menu View>Full Screen: The subsequent full screen image appears on primary 
window. Same suggestion as above.
- Menu Format>Character: The subsequent "Character" dialog box appears on 
primary screen. Same suggestion as above.
- Menu Format>Styles Catalog (Ctrl-F11): The subsequent "Character" dialog box 
appears on primary screen. However when you click "New" from there, 
the "Paragraph style" and "Page Style" dialog boxes appear again on the 
secundary screen. New "Character style", "Frame Style" and "Numbering style" 
appear on the primary screen. Same suggestion as above.
- Menu Format>Stylist (F11): Popup appears on primary. Same suggestion as above.
- Menu Tools>Data Sources: Dialog box appears off center to bottom right. 
Suggestion: Should be centered like other dialog boxes.
- Menu Insert>Fields>Other: Dialog box appears off center to bottom right. 
Suggestion: Should be centered like other dialog boxes.
- Menu Tools>Bibliography database: Appears on primary screen. Suggest it 
should appear on "current screen", see above.
- Menu Tools>Options: Appears on primary screen. Suggest it should appear 
on "current screen", see above.
- Menu Help>Contents: Appears on primary screen. That could be considered OK.
- Menu Help>Support: Appears on primary screen. Suggest it should appear 
on "current screen", see above.
- Menu Help>About OpenOffice.org: This one is different. The popup appears 
always on the secondary window, even when OO Writer is on the primary window.


Hope this helps
