Right click TAB context menu on dual screens

I don't know if anyone else gets this, but when I right click on a TAB the context menu always appears on my primary screen (I use dual screens at home and at work). This is the only menu (that I've found) that behaves like this, everything else appears where you click the mouse.
Both the work machine and the home machine are similarly specced for software (although the work machine is part of a domain) and both use a discreet ATI graphics card using the latest 6.10 catalyst drivers.

The only one??? There should be many (>10) that behave the same. For example right-click the empty area in the tree... or??

OK, so right clicking in the empty area of the tree does it as well, but I can't remember ever having done this. I guess it's worse than I thought!

Check next version. I tried some voodoo (= something I do not believe in but you never know...).

Well, with 5.40.0000 the voodoo didn't seem to work here (XP Pro SP2)
Still hoping for successful voodoo, though!
Thanks!

If I'm not mistaking this has been discussed previously, and it turned out it is indeed a bug in VB5, I beleive....

Indeed -- and I was prepared to live with it that way... But when Don said he had tried some Voodoo I figured he might have figured out a way around the bug (and maybe he still will!) (fingers crossed!
)

Yes. That's why I said voodoo. I hoped the bug just disappeared!

Negative I'm afraid, it's still here for me.

I'm not surprised. The mystery still stands.
