When your mouse is over a variable, the tooltip containing the 'quickwatch' of the variable is displayed on the first display monitor, even if your code editor is on another display monitor.
(BUG dectected on version 10.3.1532, vith visual studio 6) |

i will ask support about this. i have a dual monitor system available to me, but VC6 is not installed on that machine.
if you disable VA do you get the same problem? depending on the graphics card and drivers you have there are various different ways that dual monitor systems work, and some of these are better than others.
does your system have one believe it has one extra wide monitor, or does it believe it has two separate monitors? |

(I've two monitor on one graphics card, the 1st is in (0,0) (1600x1200), the second is in (1600,-384) (1200x1920 rotated 90CCW),
the VC6/VA window is in fullscreen on the second monotor).
I think it's a VA problem because :
- when my program is not running the VA Tooltip are on the second monitor (for exemple, the tooltip of "int a=0;" is "int a=0") => It's perfect
- when my program is running the VA Tooltip are on the first monitor (docked on the right) (for exemple, the tooltip of "int a=0;" is "a = -85899...") => It's not correct

| What is the "my program" to which you refer? Or do you mean, "when you are debugging your program?" |

I see possibly two separate complaints, here. One is that (seemingly) debug mode moves the tool tip to the wrong monitor. The second is that the value displayed in the tooltip is wrong. One possibility is that when you are debugging, VS is providing a tooltip that has the current value of the variable in it. Since VS is providing a tooltip, VA does not. The value displayed in the tooltip is (just guessing) the value stored in the location before the assignment in the initialization statement is executed.
Does this sound like a possible explanation of what is happening and why? |

| Can you reproduce this on demand or does it occur intermittently? |

This little bug is not patched in the last build (1541).
To help people to understand what happens, here is a little movie

on the second monitor)

| Case=2550 is still in the list of bugs to fix, unfortunately we have quite a few outstanding bugs to fix. I have bumped the priority of this bug, hopefully that will help. |
