A menu (favorites, for example) should opn on the browser window on the screen on which has the actively used window, not a monitor or 2 over. It's not correct; Google Chrome has the same problem. We cannot open different browser types to combat this and the system is admin controlled (VPN / internal), limited to one browser type. Thanks.- JustWendyJan 25, 2022Copper Contributor
I have a new Microsoft Surface Pro which recommends a 200% view with two Acer monitors at 100%. The problem corrects if I change the third (built-in) monitor to 100%. Unfortunately, the content is too small to use as a 3rd monitor when I do that. I have to change the resolution on the Surface to 1280x960 to make it usable. Not the best workaround, but a workaround.
This bug started in December of 21 for the first time.

Thank you.
I have submitted it through feedback as well. Unfortunately, the screenshot sent through the tool is unhelpful since the problem is shown on a different monitor!
I notice today that hover text (e.g. on MS Search page) is offset below and to the right as well (as shown in the attached).
You'll see on the other attachment that there are 3 monitors - the SurfaceBookPro at the bottom, and then 2 monitors above it.
Perhaps my multiple-monitor setup is unusual?

AmateurD I have what appears to be a similar issue.
Menus open on different monitor in multi-monitor setup. Happens when Edge is open on second monitor - menu opens on monitor 3 (built-in screen). Issue does not occur on Monitor 1 or the built-in screen.
Setup - 2 x 24" Monitors + Laptop built in screen.
Dell Latitude 7490 connected to a C-Dock.
Monitor 1 connected to C-Dock DisplayPort - 1980 x 1080. Scale - 100%
Monitor 2 connected to C-Dock HDMI 1980 x 1080. Scale - 100%
Built-in display - 1980 x 1080. Scale 150%I was able to obtain a screenshot demonstrating the issue using the PrtScn key.
I have also submitted this to the feedback.
