Unable to select tabs on pop-up menus in transformer and powerplay

[lyonnesse]

As the title says, whenever a pop-up menu is displayed, I can only make changes to the topmost tab.  The others are visible but not selectable.

As a result I can't change preferences, sort categories or add descriptions, to name a few problems.

I'm using 8.4, and have reinstalled it 2 or 3 times.  It seems to work immediately after an install but doesn't retain the ability.

I've only had 6.4 for 4 weeks, and before that I had only brief experience of Transformer, but I don't think it was happening in earlier versions.

Has anyone else experienced this?

You aren't by chance using more than one monitor, are you?

There is a bug in Transformer where tabs are not enabled properly on a monitor with negative co-ordinates (e.g., on a multi-monitor system where there is a monitor to the left of the one with the Start bar.

Move Transformer to the other monitor.

Wow.  Thanks v much.  That was it exactly!

I've tried to record every sequence to see what caused it but never thought of that!  I've just tried it out and it worked on the main screen but not on the secondary. 

I've become quite paranoid about this because every time I raised it with Tec Support I couldn't demonstrate the problem.  As soon as they were gone it was back again.  The reason was Tec Support are remote and when I share my screen it always has to be the main screen.  :-[

Simple when you know how.   ;D

Thanks again
