I've come across an issue where if you have dual monitors, various windows (such as StylePicker, RealTrack generator, etc.) always appear on the 2nd monitor. This reoccurs each time, even if you drag the window to the main monitor. I found a similar issue someone had back in 2009 http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=238280&an=&page=&vc=1 but this didn't work for me unfortunately. I've reported it to support and they say it's a known fault but there doesn't seem to be a fix due any time soon (especially as it's been around for at least 3 years!). My workaround is to disable the 2nd monitor while using RB but this is a bit of a nuisance. If anyone else has had this issue and has found a permanent workaround it would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Yes, I have been having the same problem... I thought I had solved it back in 2009, but was mistaken. It can be "fixed" temporarily as I posted then, and as you know, by deselecting monitor #2, but it reverts as soon as you reboot the system.
It needs fixing. You say it is a "bit of a nuisance." That's UK talk -- I would say "Pain in the a**."
It does help to use a nice free program called DisplayFusion, which is a little simpler workaround, but it is still a pain.

Haha Brad, I was just being polite! It really is a pain in the ar*e for me too (ass isn't a rude word over here, it's just another word for donkey).
I was in contact with a guy called Rob from tech support and he was meant to phone me about it. But I guess with the time difference it's a bit tricky.
Rob, if you read this, maybe it would be easier/cheaper to call Brad if he's willing?
I can't believe in this day and age we're the only 2 users of RB who have dual monitors! Maybe between us, we can get a fix!
