Multi monitor support

positioning, separator display

from Stardock Forums

I am using ObjectDock (1.9) since only recent, and I am considering upgrading to pro version. However, there are a few problems that I would like to see resolved or, at least, in the resolution queue. Both are related to multiple monitor PC configurations. 

1. Positioning. My ideal position for the dock is on the right side of the desktop. On a multi-mon desktop this is on DISPLAY2 (secondary, right). Most of the time, this setup works as intendended, however, occasionally I log into my account and find the dock bound to the primary (left) display. Therefore, in the center of the desktop. Opening the setup and poking at the monitor selection dropbox restores the position immediately.

2. Separators. Contrary to problem one, this problem has no (known to me) remedy. The separators are not displayed on the dock but offset. On my setup with two identical displays, the separators are shown on the primary display, as if the dock was positioned there. On my setup with two different diplays (where primary is a FullHD LCD TV), the separators are offset into the center of the secondary display

3. Potentionally related; KKMenu docklet. On setup with different displays works fine, but on the one with identical displays the menus are offset to the primary display.

Thanks for any clarifications!

I use my laptop monitor as my left screen and a 2nd monitor as my right screen.  I have issues usually have issues when I redock my laptop.  I have all of my docks on the 2nd monitor but they all stay on the left monitor after I redock.  The easiest way to get them back to the 2nd monitor is to kill the OD process and restart it.  Otherwise I have to go in manually to move them all to the other screen, which is time consuming.

Regarding point 1, the dock is -always- erroneously positioned after I reconnect to a session, be it because someone else logged in or after coming back from standby. If loaded fresh, like after rebooting or logging in (new session), the dock loads correctly. This should be easy to reproduce and I would hope easy to remedy as well. So please.

About point 3, I am not even sure anymore if it really worked ok back then, but now the menu -always-, on both systems, pops up on the primary screen instead of the secondary, where the dock is.
