Hi Jonathan, would you be able to help investigate this issue? I run into this 4 out of 5 times I try.

Is this only on 46 (beta), or do you also see it happen with 47 (Dev Ed) and Nightly? It may be there's a fix already that we could consider for uplift.

This does not repro on 47 based on my testing so far but still a problem in Beta46.

Hmm, so far it hasn't reproduced for me with Beta.

Could you confirm what the size & arrangement of your monitors is? In Control Panel / Appearance & Personalization / Display / Screen Resolution, it should show you the resolution (size in pixels) of each screen.

Are the screens side-by-side (which side is each on?), or up-and-down (which one is above?)

What's your system scaling factor? Load https://people.mozilla.org/~jkew/tests/devPixRatio.html; what device pixel ratio does it report?

If you log out of Windows, and log in again, does that affect the behavior? (Windows gets itself into a somewhat inconsistent state sometimes when you change the configuration, and after logout it straightens itself up again.)

Hello Ritu,

Are you still experiencing this ? If yes, could you provide the information asked in Comment 4 ?
Thanks !

It now works as expected now, tested on Beta62, Nightly63. Will resolve it as such. Thanks for following up on this.
