Floating bases in IDL 5.6 vs. IDL 5.4 [message #35973]

A little background, I am using Windows 2000 19" dual monitors and IDL
5.6.

If I declare a top level WIDGET_BASE, using the following syntax

tlb = WIDGET_BASE(/ROW, /FLOATING, GROUP_LEADER=event.top)

then in IDL 5.4 this "child" base of event.top, tlb, would appear
centered over event.top no matter where on my dual monitors event.top
happened to be (first monitor or second monitor). However, in IDL 5.6,
if event.top happens to be in the second monitor, the tlb stops right
at the edge of the first monitor! It seems to want to be centered over
the parent base, but can't make it past the edge of the first monitor.

What's going on here? Why does something that used to work, all of a
sudden doesn't? Does anyone have any explanation as to why this would
be and what I can do about it?

Thanks,
PJ
