I'm having a problem with MC being on a secondary monitor and showing its menus.

The video card is a Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 in Dual View mode (as opposed to desktop spanning).  Windows correctly sees it as 2 adapters and 2 monitors.  Monitor 2 is the secondary monitor and located logically (and physically go figure) above Monitor 1.

When MC is moved to monitor 2, the menus don't display properly.  Right-click menus for items on the lower part of the screen don't show at all.   It seems that if MC can't fit the menu below the selected item and stay on the screen, it doesn't draw the menu at all instead of drawing the menu above the selected item like it should.

Menus on the top half show but only partially and they have scroll up and down arrows at the top and bottom.  If you hover over the bottom arrow, the menu scrolls all the items right off the top.

The 1 menu that isn't skinned works properly.   It's the portable drives tree entry.

If I move Monitor 2 to be logically beside or below Monitor 1, the menus draw fine but I can't physically move the monitor so mouse movement gets confusing.

Drivers have been updated and this is the second card I've tried with the same results.  No other app has problems being on the second monitor.

Does anyone else run MC on dual monitors and can you see if you get the same behavior?
