Issue with folder creation pop-up window position when using multiple monitors

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Issue with folder creation pop-up window position when using multiple monitors

I'm using a 43-inch monitor (4K resolution) + a 27-inch monitor (1920*1080).

When I create a folder and the folder name input window pops up, it should normally appear centered on the monitor where Total Commander is currently displayed.

However, it appears in the middle between the 43-inch and 27-inch monitors. It should appear centered on the 43-inch monitor for convenience, but it appears on the far right, which is inconvenient and feels odd.

It would be great if this issue could be fixed.

Not confirmed.

Here the "New folder" dialog pops up close to the panel divider in TC in the horizontal plane and in the middle of TC's top and bottom in the vertical plane.

I agree to what petermad wrote. Where is Total Commander positioned? Maybe it reaches across both screens?

Can you give me some more details? The folder creation window should appear over the active file panel.

Can anyone reproduce this? Otherwise I will move the thread to "will not be changed".
