Dual Screens MisMatch

[algerdes]

This is more an observation than a request for help.

Situation: 
High powered laptop with one of those high pixel screens (3840x2160).
Second monitor hooked up to the laptop (1920x1080).

If I keep all the xLights program in either the computer monitor or the second monitor, all works as expected.
If I take some of the windows and move them into the other monitor, then the drop down menus disappear, or actually move off the screen - away from the location they should be at (as in just off the selection line.)

Not sure why this happens.
I will hook up the third monitor again (same size as  the second) and see if this happens with the windows spread across the 2nd and 3rd monitor.  I know many use multiple monitors.  This just is strange.

There are no drop down menus except at the top of the program.  Do you mean the combo-box selections?  Anyways best to just show a screenshot cause I don't want to read and imagine.

Yes, the "combo box selections". 
I'll try to get a screen shot tomorrow when I put that one back on line.  For now, sleep tight.

I have setup three screens.  The first is the high resolution on the laptop (3840x2160).  The second has a resolution of 1920x1080 and the third 1680x1050.

The "On same screen" attachment was taken when I had all parts of xLights only on screen 2.  It also remains normal when I put some of the windows on screens 2 and 3.

The "Different Screens" image is when I have any of the windows (such as either of the preview windows) on the laptop's high resolution and the program on either (or both) of the other monitors.

Several times, the selection box will actually leave the screen areas, giving the impression that it isn't there.

For right now, having the three screens, my work-a-round is to just work on the two lower resolution screens. 
Unfortunately when I go on the road, I only take one extra monitor and in order to really work well, I need to spread across both of them.

I guess for those popups it inherits the DPI for the main screen.  That's not our code drawing those boxes so someone would have to convince wxWidgets developers to fix it.

Understood.  Thanks.
