MSAS Beta Popups don't work w/2 Dsiplays

[Mark Bamberg]

I recently installed MSAS and it seems to be a very good
application. However, it does seem to have a defect with
respect to the way Popups work in a multi-Display
environment.

In particular, I have a Notebook computer, which I use in
conjunction with another display. The notebook's display
adapter is an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500. When I make the
external monitor my primary window and move the Start bar
to the new primary display (left and veritical) and then
run a .BAT file using a Windows Shortcut that has not been
registered with MSAS, I see the Popup but it rises from the
bottom of the Primary monitor and then becomes both
invisible and unavailable. If I try the shortcut again,
another popup appears rising in the same way. It seems to
rise to the top of the display and then disappear. Each
time I do this, I cause another instance of gaServAlert to
be started. I cannot put the focus on them, however, to
answer the Popup. I do place my Start bar vertically.

When I move the start bar to the new secondary monitor (the
notebook display) and place it in the horizontal position,
the Popup does appear on the new primary monitor and doesn't
rise as before.

I wasn't quite sure how to report this defect or what
additional information might be helpful to solve it.

Hi Mark,
It's a noted issue with dual monitors. Expect to see it fixed in later
build(s).
