Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 3847
Menu items not appearing under menu bar, moving to center of screen.

When moving the mouse over some menu items (file, Edit, window, help, etc.) the menu list which is supposed to pop up directly below the selected item on the menu bar, will instead pop up centered in the screen, which is extremely difficult to navigate. About half of the other menu items function correctly, and the menus do appear in the correct location, which lead me to believe this is not just a driver issue. This happens in each of the sub programs. The cause is related to software on this computer which has multiple monitors, and driver software (matrox quickdesk) which causes popup dialogs to appear centered on the active monitor. Turning off the 'center popups' option will make the problem go away. However, since about half of the menus in Openoffice function correctly (tools menu for example) while the others do not, perhaps it would be possible to check for inconsistancies in the coding method between the menus, and adjust the incorrectly functioning menus to work like the others. I have never observed this problem with any applications other than OpenOffice.org. --- Windows 2000 (build 2195 service pack 2) Matrox Millennium G450 Dual Head video card (bios v1.2.021) Video Driver File version 5.12.01.1520 Matrox PowerDesk Version: 6.21.011 thanks, keep up the great work.
Seems to me that this correspond (duplicate) to issue #4360 that is fixed into inhouse build 7985 and implemented in a next OO- version.
Fixed, therefore closed.
