[Framers] Odd conditional text behaviour with two monitors

[Keith Soltys]

I’m using FrameMaker 10 on a 64-bit Windows 7 PC with two identical 23” monitors. My primary monitor is on the right.

Generally I keep most of my tabs and pods on the main monitor, but on the current document it seemed easier to move some of them to the secondary monitory. I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why my conditional text pod wasn’t responding (I could select a conditional but the selection buttons and icon buttons didn’t work). It finally occurred to me that usually I kept this pod at the bottom of my main monitor. As soon as I moved it back it worked again.

I haven’t noticed this with any other pods or dialogs.

Obviously this will never get fixed and I don’t have a more recent version of Frame to test to see if it affects later versions. I point it out just in case it might save someone else a bit of time.

Regards
Keith
