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?
