[GNC] Issue with Creating/Editing Scheduled Transactions with Multiple Displays?

[Peter]

Hi, Tom,

I have seen that happen on  my dual monitor set-up. Same happens with 
the reconciliation window and the Tips at Startup window.

Seems to me that if you, on one occasion, move the edit sched trans 
window to the other monitor (inadvertently or not) and the finish by 
clicking OK or cancel, the next time you open an edit sched trans window 
it will open in the other monitor.

I am able to fix the problem by moving the window to the monitor where I 
would like to see it before clicking OK. Next time it opens in that 
monitor.

Might work for you.

Peter
