bufftabs tooltip display problem in external monitor (v13.0.1)

[Ding Zhaojie]

I connected an external monitor on my laptop. And when I place the SE window in my primary monitor (1400*1050), the file bufftab tooltip is OK. But when I place the SE window in my external monitor (1280*1024), the tooltip was always at the right edge but not near the mouse cursor.

* display @ primary monitor
* display @ external monitor
* my monitor settings

Been there since 12.0.3, at least.  Fine when the external monitor is on the right side, broken when the external monitor is on the left.

From my (limited) experience with multiple monitors and everything I've ever read on this issue, it is a bad idea to put monitor 2 to the left of monitor 1 because of the way the pixel coordinates are defined (the origin is at the upper left of monitor 1 and negative coordinates can cause a lot of applications to get confused -- not necessarily because of the application, but because of the APIs they have to use to address the displays).  To be fair, I'm not sure this is strictly a Windows issue.

Anyway, I'd recommend putting the #2 monitor on the right of #1.

My 2 cents.

Other applications works fine indeed. A robust application should deal with the negative coordinates correctly.

btw: I put the logical monitor 2 on the left is because the physical monitor is just put at the left side of my desk. I put my laptop at the center, and put my mouse pad, phone, books at the right side. So if I put the logical monitor on the right, moving cursor between two monitors would be weird.

Comment out the following line in showSSTTooltip() in sstab.e.

Code: [Select]

   //if (x < 0) x = 0;   <-- Remove this line.
It shouldn't be there.
