Hi Roger

Thanks, I’ll try that.  However then I will have to deal with reprogramming the wetware and the muscle memory which at my age may be a much more difficult process.  The ole wetware ain’t as moist and flexible as it once was ;-)

Just so happens I that is the space that I have for a second monitor  is on a stand above the screen of my MacBook Pro.  So I had to position my second monitor to the left of my main monitor.  I am then able to work on LiveCode in either monitor.  The only thing I had to do was re-train my brain that moving my mouse left was actually moving it up to my second monitor. Now it is second nature.

(Even the MacOS sometimes gets confused.) But now LC is doing crazy things — even when no external monitors are connected. I’ll move the mouse to the top of a stack window, and ask for the Mouseloc and it will return something like "100,-60”. If I click a button in the middle of the stack, the click will register in an object the 60 pixels above that. It’s not always 60 — the wrongness changed as I move the stack around. Other times it works fine. I can’t find a pattern to set it off.
