Problem with multiple monitors

At work I have a multi-monitor setup. I connect my laptop to its docking station, and there are 2 external monitors connected to the docking station. My desktop extends across both monitors, giving me an double-wide desktop area.

In this setup, OOTD displays but does not allow me to interact with it in any way. Meaning that when I click the visible OOTD regions on the screen, I get the desktop menu instead of the OOTD menus. I am unable to gain the focus of any OOTD regions - I can't scroll, click, double-click anything in OOTD on the screen.

OOTD behaves normally when I use my laptop's built-in LCD instead of the multiple external monitors. I am using OOTD version 1.4.1.0.

Thanks !

Never mind the original bug report. I can now see that I have reported a duplicate of "Moving and Resizing on extended desktop" by Krist on 10-Apr-2008.

I'm having the same dual monitor issue. I'm using OOTD version 1.5.2.0

Here's the fix that worked for me...

Switch the "primary monitor" to the left instead of right.  It made the OOTD functions work again.
