As an aside, I have "Check my spelling as I type" selected Firefox options so why, I wonder, weren't my typos above highlighted in this forum's data entry text area?

Bad placement of dialog panels on Windows multi-monitor system

For drjava-20160913-225446 on WIndows 10 (64-bit) ...

I have a multi-monitor system, see http://notestoneunturned.blogspot.com.au/2009/05/how-to-stop-samsung-204b-lcd-monitor.html for a picture.

Tthe monitors arranged in an inverted T pattern, as in the following schematic:
.................. [ 4 ]
........... [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
where monitor [1] is configured as the "main display" (Windows boot-time output is displayed), and to conserve power monitor [4] at the top is switched off except when I intend to make use of it.

I'm just discovering the joys of DrJava, don't klnow how I haven;t found out about it before!

I'm finding to my great annoyance that all external dialog panels -- such as About DrJava, and the Quir DrJave confirmation dialog -- are being displayed almost completelyt in the bottom left corner of monitor [4] with a tiny part displayed in the top left corner of monitor [2]. Because I have the top monitor swithced of nearly all the time, I tend to miss noticing any dialogs being displayed and this is quite irritating.

IMHO these external panels should all be displayed entirely in the "main display" of the Windows system. Could this be fixed reasonably soon?
