have never seen the message box wander. Since you didn't get a reply when
you posted it, I suspect no one else has either. To me, it sounds like a
scripting issue. Maybe you have a script that sets the location of a stack
or some other object, but it isn't specifying the correct target.
And it occurs to me a few days later: opening the message box entirely
off the screen on startup should be considered an error and bug in all
cases. And the same for the dictionary.
Common situation: using livecode with an external screen on a laptop,
and moving the dictionary to that screen. If the laptop is used
without the screen, the old location is off screen.
There is some, but incomplete, storage of the location of IDE windows.
I have yet to have one open entirely in my secondary screen on a
reopen, but opening entirely offscreen doesn't seem to bother it.
Certainly the thing with secondary and or mirror screens has to be
sorted out.
If one has 2 or 3 displays attached to one's machine and 1 or more of
them is them disconnected
(or goes "phut") all stacks, palettes and other 'things" of Livecode's
IDE should be visible on the
monitor that is still connected.
I had a similar sort of problem just the other day when I moved my
second machine up to my villa in the mountains and connected to to a
very old cathode ray tube job that has a maximum display of 1024 x 768,
having previously had it connected to a 1920 x 1080 display; my
"revTools" stack was nowhere to be seen!
I had to open up the message box (which, luckily, appeared somewhere
reasonably sensible: I could see the thing) and do a "move stack
"revTools" to 100,100: silly and should be unnecessary. Had the message
box been off screen things would have been even more tedious.
