Delete confirmation windows position

[Yanc75]

Hi all!

Long time user here, just registered on forum to report an issue:

When deleting files via DEL key, deletion confirmation window sometimes pops up on different monitor.
I have three monitors side by side, all of them working in 1920x1080 resolution. Total Commander is maximixed on middle monitor all the time, yet the confirmation window pops up basically where it feels like it. I would say 80% of the time it shows correctly on middle monitor, 15% on right on 5% on left.

TC version 11.56 64bit, system is Windows 11 with all updates.

Does it also happen if your TC is not maximized?

There are two types of delete confirmation:
1. Shift+F8 or Shift+Delete (or F8/Delete on drives with delete confirmation disabled): This will show a standard Windows MessageBox. It is normally centered on the screen of the app which shows it.
2. F8/Delete to recycle bin on a drive where delete confirmation is enabled: Here Windows itself will show a delete confirmation dialog.

Can you give me more details on which type of dialog box is affected? Does it happen in dark mode too?

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