BuildID: 2002053012
Some windows will center on the primary display when the browser is on another
display, while some other windows will center on the same display of the
browser. Specifically, when trying to download a skin from a website: The dialog
that comes up to ask you if you want to use this skin displays correctly on the
display with the browser window, while the Download Status for the skin centers
on the primary monitor
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Put the browser on a secondary display.
2. Go to a site with Mozilla skins and click on the install link
3. A dialog will appear to ask you if you want to use this skin. This dialog
displays in the center of the secondary screen. Click OK.
4. A dialog will appear for download status in center of primary screen.
Actual Results: The initial dialog asking you if you want to use the skin you
wish to install displays correctly on the secondary display. The download status
window displays incorrectly by being in the center of the primary display
Expected Results: The download status should have been in the center of the
secondary display like the dialog box that appeared before it

Reporter: does this still happen? A screenshot (or better yet, a picture of both
monitors, would be helpful.

I get this same problem, but it's not just windows (although all new windows do
spawn on display 1). This happens with menus (they show up at the right edge of
display 1), auto-complete text.
I'll see if I can get some screen shots up for you to look at.

I got some shots up, and it appears that this is not limited to FireFox. It
happened in Sunbird as well. I am currently unable to reproduce this bug (in
either application), so I'll have to look into how I can reproduce it.

I cropped most of the images to highlight the parts with the problems, the full
screenshots are under full-resolution.

I am experiencing this on the Mozilla Suite browser (Mozilla 1.7.3) on Win XP sp2.
The problem I have noticed is the menus appearing on the primary display.
I will upgrade to the latest release of Mozilla Suite and retest.

Tested on Mozilla Suite v1.7.5 WinXP sp2 - The menus are now working OK.
New windows are still appearing on the primary display instead of secondary.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open Mozilla Suite Web browser and place on secondary display monitor.
2) Choose "Go > History".
Actual Results:
The History window opens on the primary display.
Expected Results:
The History window should open on the same display monitor as the "parent" window.

I have just discovered that Microsoft Word 2000 suffers the same problem with
opening new windows!
This suggests to me an OS problem.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
