Major Applications Don’t Support Multiple Monitors Correctly

This note is a record of the major applications that don’t correctly support multiple monitors:

Quicken 2006 Premier Home & Business

Doesn’t notice if you change which screen is your primary one. Results in a non-maximized application window disappearing from the screen with no way to recover it except to switch the primary monitor back, move the window, and then switch again.

Pop-up auto-completion menus don’t always appear where they should.

Quicken is in general an amazingly crappy application given the amount of time it’s been in development:
