I wonder if it is related to bug that existed at one time where one couldn’t drag a LiveCode window on a second monitor above the top of the main monitor. I have a vague memory that Hans had problems with that, too, so he might be able to put his finger on it. Ah, bug 8934 (#1).
Runners up and maybe related: bug 4174, bug 12270. bug 9304, bug 15373, bug 7010
I am so happy there is a workaround. Just move the window down a bit. Ha!

On a Mac, if you have two monitors (or more I suppose), and you open a script editor window, it initially opens on the same screen as your LiveCode IDE; on the "main screen” as determined by the OS. After that I typically move the script editor window to the second monitor. I find that if the top of the script editor window is higher than the tool bar on the main screen, I get this hot spot offset problem. Once I move the window downward on the second monitor it goes away. I ought to have reported it, but I’ve gotten to where I automatically just move the window down to avoid the problem.
