When using multiple monitors and the TD IDE is placed on monitor 2, the find and replace dialog (CTRL-F) is always opened in the middle of the screens.
(so one half on monitor 1 and the other half on monitor 2).
When the IDE is on monitor 1, the dialog is presented correctly.
I have looked at the other dialogs (like preferences, build options etc) and none of them has the issue.
So it seems the auto-jump/move-dialog-on-screen which the find dialog has uses a wrong calculation for placement.
This seems to be related with this reported issue:
viewtopic.php?t=68645
which also shows that TD incorrectly manages windows on multi monitor setups.

Re: TD-18239: Find/replace dlg on multiple monitor setups
Surprising. And if you move the Find dlg. to upper right monitor 1 and close it, then Ctrl-F again, still overlaps the 2 monitors? I see that no matter where I move the Find dlg (I also have 2 monitors), next time it opens it is always offset from UL by a small, same amount.
Same when I moved TD to screen 2. reopen of Find is always offset a bit from UL of TD IDE. Now... I see that if I overlap TD a bit onto monitor 1 and open Find, then yes it too overlaps monitors, because it's still opening as some top/left offset from UL of TD IDE.

Re: TD-18239: Find/replace dlg on multiple monitor setups
Then it is definitely related to the system setup or OS version.
I have created a video to show it.
Both screens are on the video (left part is monitor 1, right part is monitor 2). The TD IDE is placed on the second.
The find dialog has always an offset to the left, outside of the IDE in my case.

My setup is:
Monitor 1 Monitor 2
On the other thread about the default location of top level windows:
viewtopic.php?t=68645
I also created a video to show it.
It is on the same setup.

A colleague of mine also tested this on his setup, a Windows XP 32 bit system with the same monitor setup.
The issue is there also. So we can rule out the windows OS.
Another test shows that TD60 SP5 has the same issue !!!
No issues on TD42 !
