I just downloaded the newest version and the same thing happened.  I'm using
Xdesk virtual desktop software.  http://www.xdesksoftware.com/

Hi Angie,



Thanks for the feedback. This is exactly the kind of information

I was looking for.  



I was unable to reproduce your problem so I contacted the company

and was informed that this was a problem that was addressed in

one of the newer versions.  Can you verify this.  I am using

a dual-monitor setup and the problem does not occur.  How exactly

are you set up?
